A refined italic serif with razor-thin hairlines set against broad, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are delicate and sharply pointed, with evident calligraphic tapering and smooth, flowing joins that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Curves are generous and polished, while verticals and diagonals end in crisp, needle-like terminals that accentuate the contrast. Spacing reads slightly airy, helping the thin details stay clear in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers and spreads, luxury branding, and campaign-style posters where contrast and gesture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also serve for short subheads or pull quotes when ample size and line spacing are available to protect the hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, projecting a polished, high-end editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and poised slant suggest elegance and sophistication with a hint of theatrical flair.
Designed to deliver an elegant italic voice for contemporary editorial typography, combining classical serif structure with pronounced contrast and fashion-oriented sharpness. The emphasis appears to be on glamour and readability in display contexts rather than dense, small-size text setting.
Uppercase forms feel statuesque and slightly wide in their bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a more fluid, calligraphic cadence. Numerals follow the same italic, high-drama model, with fine entry/exit strokes and a classic, display-oriented presence.
