A high-contrast serif with flowing italic construction and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from razor-thin hairlines to confident main stems, with crisp, tapered terminals and delicate, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. The capitals are narrow and poised with sweeping diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X), while the lowercase shows lively, cursive-like joins and entry strokes, including a looped g and long, descending tails on letters like f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and curvature, reading as stylish and text-friendly rather than rigidly geometric.
This style is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and display lines where its contrast and movement can be appreciated. It can also work for book jackets, pull quotes, and formal invitations when set with comfortable size and leading to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a distinctly luxurious, fashion-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and graceful slant create a sense of sophistication and drama, suited to environments where typography is meant to feel curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience filtered through a high-fashion italic sensibility—prioritizing elegance, sharp contrast, and calligraphic motion for premium typographic voice in both display and carefully set text.
Spacing appears relatively airy in the specimen, letting the hairlines breathe and helping counters stay open despite the strong contrast. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the design relies on tapered stroke endings and subtle curvature to maintain a smooth reading line in longer text.
