A slanted, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines against weighty main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, engraved feel at joins and terminals. The italics show lively calligraphic movement and noticeable width variation across letters, while maintaining an orderly, refined rhythm. Capitals feel tall and commanding, and the figures are similarly contrasty with elegant, sculpted curves.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, titles, luxury branding, and posters where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial layouts, especially with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—suited to high-end, editorial settings where elegance and intensity are desired. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum give it a confident, fashion-forward voice with a classic, print-oriented sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact italic voice with pronounced contrast and crisp serif detailing—optimised for expressive display use and premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian, small-size reading.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as exceptionally delicate, emphasizing sparkle and detail; in denser settings the contrast creates strong light/dark patterning. Round letters and numerals show pronounced thinning at the top and bottom, reinforcing the vertical-stress character and a refined, contemporary Didone-like impression.
