A slanted, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and finely tensioned, with prominent thick-to-thin transitions that create a crisp, glossy texture in display sizes. The italic construction shows calligraphic influence—arched entry/exit strokes, graceful swashes on select letters, and a lively baseline rhythm—while counters remain relatively open and well-shaped for clarity. Numerals and capitals keep a formal, sculpted presence, balancing delicate details with confident vertical strokes.
Best suited to magazine layouts, cover lines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where elegance and contrast are assets. It can also support luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially in larger sizes where the fine serifs and hairlines retain their sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, reading as glamorous and literary at the same time. Its steep contrast and sweeping italic motion suggest luxury, sophistication, and a sense of ceremony, with an editorial voice that feels suited to curated, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice: dramatic contrast, refined detailing, and a calligraphic flow that adds movement and prestige. It aims to stand out in display settings while maintaining traditional serif conventions and legibility for short passages.
The italics show pronounced character in letters like the flowing lowercase forms and the expressive ‘Q’ and ‘J’, which add personality without tipping into script. Spacing appears designed for display and short text runs, where the sharp hairlines and angled stress can remain clean and intentional.
