This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapering entry and exit strokes and fine hairline serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with thick vertical-ish stems and very thin connecting strokes. Serifs appear small, pointed, and often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, contributing to a crisp, cut-in feel. Proportions are moderately compact with a conventional x-height, while the uppercase feels stately and slightly narrow, and the lowercase follows an energetic italic rhythm with tight joins and angled terminals.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers and titles, and other display-oriented settings where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also work for short-form reading—such as pull quotes, intros, and front-matter—when set at comfortable sizes and with sufficient line spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a sense of luxury and tradition. Its strong contrast and brisk italic movement make it feel expressive and editorial, leaning toward high-end, literary, and fashion-leaning aesthetics rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with refined, sharp finishing and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and emphasis, offering an expressive companion for sophisticated typographic palettes.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic and sharp finishing, producing a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes. In continuous text the steep italic angle and hairline details create a lively, somewhat dramatic color that benefits from generous spacing and print-like rendering.
