A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a compact, disciplined overall footprint. Strokes transition from hairline thins to firm verticals with a crisp, engraved feel, while serifs are finely bracketed and often taper to sharp points. The curves are smooth and slightly teardrop-shaped in places, with long, clean entry/exit strokes that give the letters a continuous, flowing rhythm. Proportions stay relatively narrow, with modest counters and a steady baseline cadence that reads polished rather than decorative.
Well suited to magazine typography, book titling, and refined headlines where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works effectively for pull quotes, short editorial blurbs, and formal printed pieces that benefit from a classic, polished tone. For extended reading, it will generally prefer comfortable sizes and good line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys an editorial, upscale tone—poised, articulate, and a touch dramatic. Its sharp hairlines and fluid italic movement suggest sophistication and tradition, making it feel at home in literary and fashion-adjacent settings. Overall it reads as formal and confident, with a refined, premium voice.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif voice in an italic-forward, high-contrast rendering that emphasizes elegance and motion. The intent appears to be a versatile, premium italic that can carry both display emphasis and sophisticated editorial texture without relying on overt ornament.
Capitals lean toward elegant, calligraphic gestures without becoming overly ornate, and the numerals echo the same contrast and tapering terminals for a consistent typographic color. The italic construction is assertive, so spacing and line breaks will visibly shape the texture of paragraphs and headings.
