A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, thin hairline serifs, and sharp, clean terminals. The letterforms show a lively slant and calligraphic modulation, with robust main stems set against very fine connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is brisk, aided by narrow joins and decisive entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted construction, reading as refined rather than utilitarian.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation-style typography, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and cultured, projecting a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward elegance. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italics feel expressive and premium, suited to designs aiming for sophistication and drama without ornament.
Likely designed to deliver a modern interpretation of classical italic serif writing, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a refined print-like texture. The aim appears to be an expressive companion for sophisticated layouts rather than an all-purpose text workhorse.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with flowing diagonals and tapered strokes that create a strong sense of motion. In text, the contrast produces a bright, sparkling texture, while the capitals add a formal, display-ready presence.
