A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Stems and curves show vertical stress, with sleek tapered entry/exit strokes and sharp, unbracketed serifs that read as finely cut rather than blunt. The rhythm is lively and slightly formal: capitals feel statuesque and controlled, while lowercase forms lean with a smooth, continuous flow and delicate joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with very thin connecting strokes for a polished, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand applications where a luxurious, high-contrast italic can carry the tone. It also works well for titles and short paragraphs in print-oriented layouts, especially when paired with a quieter roman or a low-contrast companion for body copy.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, evoking fashion and literary sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and elegant slant create a sense of ceremony and luxury, with a distinctly editorial voice.
Designed to deliver a high-fashion, classical italic voice with crisp detailing and strong stroke contrast, prioritizing elegance and impact in display settings. The forms aim for a polished, boutique feel while maintaining recognizable, traditional serif proportions.
At text sizes the hairlines become visually prominent, so spacing and leading benefit from slightly generous settings. The italic construction is consistent across cases, helping mixed-case composition feel cohesive and intentionally stylized rather than merely slanted.
