A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The forms are wide and open, with sweeping entry and exit strokes that give letters a forward-leaning, calligraphic flow. Uppercase shapes are sharp and sculpted, while the lowercase shows a high-waisted rhythm and a notably small x-height relative to tall ascenders and long descenders. Curves are smooth and tensioned, counters are generous, and several letters show tapered terminals and subtly bracketed connections where heavy strokes meet finer details.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text in premium editorial layouts, but will be most convincing at display sizes where fine serifs and hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion character. Its strong contrast and lively italic slant add drama and movement, suggesting sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning serif italic with dramatic contrast and a polished, print-classic sensibility. Its wide proportions and refined detailing prioritize style and presence for prominent typographic moments.
The sample text shows crisp word shapes and a strong diagonal rhythm, with punctuation and numerals matching the same contrasty, tapered construction. At larger sizes the hairlines read as delicate and precise, reinforcing an upscale, display-forward impression.
