This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines against sturdy main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a clean, engraved feel and minimal bracketing; terminals tend toward tapered, calligraphic finishes. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, producing a lively rhythm in text, while counters remain relatively open for a display-oriented italic. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, giving figures a polished, fashion-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand applications where an elegant italic can carry personality. It also fits formal materials such as invitations or certificates, and works well for short to medium text settings when ample size and spacing preserve the thin hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, with a distinctly classical, editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and disciplined stress suggest luxury and ceremony, while the energetic italic movement adds drama and emphasis. The effect is confident and refined rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical italic with strong contrast and sharp detailing, optimized for expressive emphasis and premium presentation. It prioritizes grace, rhythm, and a polished editorial finish over utilitarian neutrality.
In the grid, capitals read as stately and slightly narrow in feel due to the strong contrast and crisp finishing, while lowercase shows more calligraphic motion and distinctive italic joins. The ampersand is expressive and ornamental, matching the font’s high-style character.
