This is a sharply inclined serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Stems and bowls show a taut, high-contrast rhythm, while serifs read as fine wedges and tapered entry strokes rather than heavy brackets. The capitals are relatively narrow and poised, with sweeping diagonals and pointed apexes; curves are clean and controlled, giving the alphabet a polished, editorial feel. Lowercase forms are compact and fluid, with a single-storey “a,” a looped italic “g,” and long, energetic ascenders/descenders that add movement to lines of text.
Best suited to display-forward typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and luxury-oriented brand systems. It also works well for elegant event materials—programs, invitations, and packaging—where the italic voice can carry the tone without needing heavy emphasis.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement. Its sharp contrast and lively slant give it a dramatic, romantic character that feels at home in fashion, culture, and high-end branding contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a modern crispness, prioritizing elegance and motion over neutral readability. It aims to provide an expressive serif italic that feels premium in short to medium-length settings.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and tapered ends that keep them visually consistent with the letters. In text, the italic construction is prominent and expressive, so spacing and line breaks benefit from a bit of air to avoid a busy texture at smaller sizes.
