A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel in the heavier stems and hairline terminals. The letterforms lean with a lively, calligraphic rhythm: bowls are narrow and upright-oval, counters are relatively tight, and strokes often finish in pointed beaks or teardrop-like terminals. Lowercase shows a moderately sized x-height with long, expressive ascenders/descenders, while capitals are stately and slightly condensed, keeping an even, refined texture in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work where contrast and flourish can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial text at larger sizes, but the delicate hairlines and tight counters suggest careful use in small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details evoke fashion headlines, classic book titling, and upscale branding, balancing sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice rooted in traditional serif construction. It prioritizes dramatic contrast, crisp detailing, and a confident forward slant to create an attention-grabbing, premium tone for titles and branding.
Several glyphs show distinctive italic mannerisms, including lively curved joins and swashy-like terminals on letters such as J, Q, g, y, and z. Numerals echo the same contrast and cursive motion, with fluid curves and hairline connections that read best when given sufficient size and spacing.
