A high-contrast serif italic with sharp hairlines and weighty verticals, giving letters a sculpted, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and often tapered, with crisp terminals that feel pen-informed rather than purely geometric. The italics show lively entry and exit strokes, creating a forward-leaning, kinetic flow in text. Proportions are slightly condensed in many capitals, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and pronounced ascenders/descenders; counters remain open enough for clarity despite the contrast.
Well-suited to magazine typography, elegant headlines, and brand systems that need a premium, classic voice. It can also serve in book jackets, pull quotes, and formal stationery where its crisp contrast and italic movement add drama and hierarchy. In longer passages it works best when set with comfortable spacing and sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. It reads as formal and luxurious, lending a sense of prestige and carefully crafted refinement.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading feel with a heightened, contemporary contrast and an assertive italic slant. The intent appears to be combining classic editorial credibility with a more glamorous, attention-getting sparkle for titling and emphasis.
Figures and capitals show pronounced stroke modulation and delicate joins that will reward generous sizing and good reproduction. The italic construction is expressive but controlled, aiming for smooth text color rather than display-only flamboyance.
