A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Forms are built from broad, swelling main strokes that taper quickly into fine terminals, creating a crisp, engraved-like texture. Serifs are thin and pointed, often wedge-like, and many joins show a calligraphic snap, especially in the diagonals and curved letters. Proportions lean classical in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact with lively, asymmetric details and a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to fashion and culture editorial design, magazine headings, pull quotes, and elegant branding where contrast and flair are desirable. It can also work well for invitations and high-end packaging, especially at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals have room to breathe.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and quick, cutting terminals convey sophistication and a sense of fashion-forward energy rather than warmth or informality.
Likely designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a couture-like finish, prioritizing expressive rhythm and visual sophistication for display and editorial settings.
The italics are strongly expressive: many letters feature narrow entry strokes and fine exit flicks that heighten movement. Numerals follow the same contrast model, reading as stylish and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
