A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced calligraphic stress, thin hairlines, and sharp, tapering serifs. The capitals are wide and stately with flowing curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase shows a lively rightward slant, compact joins, and delicate entry/exit strokes. Overall rhythm is smooth and continuous, with crisp terminals and a slightly theatrical modulation that makes counters feel open and luminous at display sizes.
Best suited to magazine typography, headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a luxurious, high-end voice. It also works well for invitations, packaging, and other short-form settings where the delicate hairlines and energetic slant can be preserved with generous sizing and careful reproduction.
The tone is polished and upscale, combining classic bookish manners with a distinctly editorial, fashion-leaning sheen. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion create a sense of sophistication and drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic with strong calligraphic character—aiming to deliver high-end elegance and dramatic emphasis for editorial and branding contexts, while maintaining conventional serif readability in short to medium text runs.
The italic construction reads as true italic rather than simply slanted: stroke endings are shaped and angled, and several letters show calligraphic detailing (e.g., the long, curling descender on j and the expressive tail on Q). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, giving figures a refined, boutique feel best suited to larger sizes.
