A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline connections and dense, glossy main strokes. The letterforms lean decisively with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, pairing sharp wedge-like serifs with tapered terminals that often finish in subtle hooks or points. Counters are relatively open for a display serif, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) are drawn with clean, sculpted stress and tight transitions. Uppercase forms feel broad and stately, and the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, giving the overall texture a dynamic, sweeping cadence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and brand-led typography where contrast and italic energy are intended to be seen. It can also work for short passages at larger sizes (introductions, deck copy, or captions) when a refined, high-style voice is desired.
The tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, balancing classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical flair. The strong contrast and italic movement create a sense of speed and glamour, suggesting premium editorial typography and high-end branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic italic serif: high contrast, crisp finishing, and a wide, confident stance that reads as premium and editorial. Its consistent calligraphic motion suggests a focus on expressive display typography with a cultivated, contemporary sheen.
Numerals share the same sharp contrast and italic flow, with pointed terminals and a distinctly stylized ‘2’ and ‘3’. The design maintains a consistent slant and stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, polished page color at larger sizes.
