A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines, fuller main strokes, and crisp, bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine points. The italic angle is consistent and calligraphic, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a sheared, diagonal stress that gives round letters a lively, sculpted feel. Capitals are wide and stately with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmic, featuring single-storey forms where expected and teardrop/ball-like terminals on several letters. Numerals match the texty, oldstyle-leaning flavor, mixing strong diagonals with delicate hairline details.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where high contrast can shine. It also works for short-to-medium text passages when generous size, leading, and print-quality reproduction are available.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, projecting luxury and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and energetic italic movement create a sense of speed and flair, while the refined finishing details keep it poised and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, bookish serif foundation infused with modern editorial drama through strong contrast and an assertive italic. It aims to balance tradition with a sleek, attention-grabbing voice for contemporary layout and brand work.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read especially crisp, giving the face a sharp, high-fashion sheen. In continuous text, the strong italic slant and contrast produce a pronounced texture that favors display and headline settings over small, low-resolution applications.
