A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letters show a strong rightward slant, narrow internal apertures, and sharply tapered entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic construction. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, often resolving into fine, pointed beaks and wedges, while curves (notably in O/Q and the numerals) keep a smooth, polished rhythm. Overall spacing appears airy, with a graceful, slightly compressed italic texture that reads as formal and poised at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display applications where the high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It fits well in magazine and editorial layouts, book and chapter titles, luxury packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations. For longer passages, it can work as an accent style (for emphasis or subheads) where crisp reproduction is available.
The tone is refined and upscale, evoking editorial typography and fashion-led branding. Its sharp contrasts and sweeping italic movement give it a dramatic, cultured voice—expressive without becoming decorative. The overall impression is classic and sophisticated, suited to premium, literary, or boutique contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice for sophisticated typography, balancing traditional serif structures with pronounced calligraphic tapering. It prioritizes elegance and expressive rhythm over neutrality, aiming to create a refined, premium texture in titles and short-form text.
The italic form is assertive, with long, tapering strokes that create a lively diagonal cadence in words and headlines. Uppercase forms feel stately and clean, while the lowercase introduces more motion through angled joins and pointed terminals. Numerals maintain the same elegant contrast, with distinctive curved forms that reinforce a traditional, print-oriented feel.
