A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: curves swell into strong main strokes and resolve into fine, pointed terminals, while serifs appear narrow and blade-like rather than blocky. Proportions feel lively and slightly variable, with generous ascenders and descenders and a smooth, sweeping italic construction that keeps counters open despite the high contrast.
Well-suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, pull quotes, headlines, and refined branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve for invitations, packaging accents, and other premium-facing materials that benefit from high contrast and a calligraphic texture.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, leaning toward editorial sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and italic energy convey movement and flair, reading as classic and cultured rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with heightened contrast and a contemporary, polished finish. It prioritizes expressive rhythm, sharp terminals, and graceful curves to create a luxurious typographic color in setting.
The numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast and sharp finishing, creating a cohesive, high-end texture in both display sizes and larger text settings. The slant and delicate hairlines suggest best results where printing or rendering can preserve fine detail.
