This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller, sculpted stems. Serifs are fine and pointed with a lightly bracketed, calligraphic feel, and terminals frequently finish in thin, angled wedges. The italic angle is assertive, creating a lively forward rhythm, while the letterforms show a mix of crisp geometry and soft curvature—especially in round shapes and the flowing lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with elegant curves and narrow joins that emphasize a polished, display-leaning texture at larger sizes.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial applications where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also suits fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined event materials that benefit from a polished, high-end typographic voice.
The overall tone is refined and high-fashion, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and energetic slant give it a confident, editorial voice suited to premium, style-forward communication rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-inspired italic with pronounced contrast and a sophisticated, boutique editorial presence. Its fine detailing and energetic slant prioritize elegance and character for display and short-form text over long, small-size reading.
In continuous setting the strong diagonal stress and delicate hairlines create a sparkling texture with pronounced thick–thin modulation. The uppercase feels stately and poised, while the lowercase introduces more movement and softness through curved entries and lively terminals, yielding a distinctly italic, expressive color on the page.
