A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, sharp hairlines, and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel and strong modulation through curves and joins. Uppercase forms are narrow and statuesque, while lowercase shows lively, varied widths and italic-specific constructions (notably a single-storey a and flowing entry/exit strokes), creating a rhythmic, written texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with thin horizontals and swelling curves that emphasize the style’s delicate hairlines.
Best suited for editorial display—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or cultural layouts where a refined italic voice is desired. It also fits formal materials such as invitations and luxury-leaning branding, especially when used at larger sizes where the hairlines and modulation can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking editorial refinement and classic luxury cues. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion add a sense of flourish and ceremony, making text feel intentional and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with dramatic contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm—prioritizing elegance and expressiveness for display and editorial emphasis over purely utilitarian reading text.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the combination of sharp hairlines with steep contrast makes the design visually sensitive at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts. The italic forms keep a consistent angle and stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive, high-style color on the page.
