A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines. The letterforms show a smooth, calligraphic rhythm with tapered terminals and finely cut serifs that often feel wedge-like rather than blunt. Curves are tightly controlled and glossy, with narrow joins and delicate cross-strokes that emphasize a high-end, display-oriented texture. Capitals appear stately and compact, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence with clear italics structure and lively entry/exit strokes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine-style typography, and brand moments where elegance and motion are desirable. It also works well for invitations, packaging, and short-form copy such as pull quotes or display text where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, with a distinctly editorial flair. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics suggest luxury, fashion, and cultured formality, while the sharp detailing adds a sense of precision and poise.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice that feels contemporary in polish while rooted in traditional serif construction. It prioritizes expressive slant, refined detailing, and a luxurious page color for display and editorial settings.
The numerals echo the same contrast and slant, with several figures showing graceful, calligraphic curves and thin linking strokes. At smaller sizes the finest hairlines and joins may become visually fragile, while at larger sizes the sharpness and rhythm read as intentional refinement.
