A slanted serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a clear diagonal stress, with tapered joins and sharp, pointed entry/exit strokes that give many letters a slightly calligraphic bite. Capitals are tall and poised with delicate crossbars and finely cut terminals, while the lowercase keeps a smooth, rhythmic flow with narrow apertures and compact bowls; the italic construction is evident in letters like a, f, g, and y with lively hooks and elegant descenders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, mixing thin connections with heavier vertical emphasis for a coherent text-and-display look.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book or journal titling, and other editorial settings where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, packaging, and invitations, and works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where its sharp italic rhythm can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing drama from the contrast with a controlled, editorial restraint. It reads as sophisticated and classic, with a fashionable, magazine-like sheen and a subtle sense of movement from the italic slant and sharp terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with crisp detailing and strong contrast, aiming for elegance and authority in display and sophisticated editorial typography.
In running text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright texture and a slightly sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The italic angle and tapered terminals add momentum and can make short words feel energetic and expressive without becoming decorative.
