A high-contrast italic serif with hairline joins and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are sculpted and taut, with narrow internal counters and a pronounced rightward slant that creates forward momentum. The italic construction shows calligraphic stress and tapered stroke endings, while capitals feel poised and slightly condensed with sharp terminals. Lowercase forms are lively and rhythmic, with a single-storey italic a and g, long ascenders, and a flowing baseline that emphasizes the slanted movement.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It also works well for premium branding, packaging, and event collateral, particularly when set large enough to preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing editorial sophistication with a distinctly fashionable, display-oriented flair. Its crisp contrast and spirited italics read as dramatic yet controlled, suggesting luxury, literature, and classic refinement rather than neutrality.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif impression with pronounced contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The intent appears to be expressive typography for prominent settings, prioritizing elegance and drama over plain-text neutrality.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, engraved-like logic, with thin horizontals and pointed terminals that can appear delicate at smaller sizes. The letterforms lean on sharp detailing and tight apertures, which makes spacing and size choices especially important for maintaining clarity.
