A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and sharply tapered joins, paired with fuller vertical strokes. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a crisp, cut-from-metal feeling. Proportions run on the condensed side with tall capitals and narrow counters, while the italic angle is steady and consistent across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed terminals and lively entry/exit strokes that create a rhythmic, calligraphic flow in text.
Works well for editorial typography, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book titling where a refined italic voice is desired. It also suits luxury branding, invitations, and short-form display applications that benefit from crisp contrast and a slender footprint. For longer passages, it is best used with comfortable size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward polish. Its sharp contrast and sleek italics convey luxury, ceremony, and a slightly dramatic flair, while still reading as rooted in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif for sophisticated composition—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a polished printed look over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In the text sample, the italic slant and contrast produce a dynamic texture with pronounced thick–thin patterning and bright interior spaces. Numerals match the sharp, refined construction, and the capitals carry a stately presence suited to emphasis and display settings.
