A sharply slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline joins. The letterforms are tall and compressed, with narrow proportions and a lively diagonal rhythm throughout. Serifs are fine and tapered with a subtle, bracketed feel, while terminals often finish in pointed or gently cupped shapes. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly calligraphic, and the overall texture is bright and airy due to the thin horizontals and delicate connecting strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where its fine hairlines and crisp serifs can stay clean: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or journal titling, and elegant invitation or event materials. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when generous spacing and high-quality reproduction are available.
The tone is polished and expressive, pairing classical formality with a contemporary, editorial sheen. Its steep italic energy and high-contrast strokes create a sense of motion and sophistication, leaning toward luxury and cultured writing rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale italic voice with a classic serif foundation, emphasizing elegance, speed, and contrast for editorial and branding contexts. Its narrow build and lively slant prioritize style and verticality over dense, long-form text color.
Round letters like O and 0 read as narrow ovals, reinforcing the vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms show a graceful, handwritten influence—especially in the single-story a and the looping descenders—while numerals follow the same high-contrast, elegant patterning for consistent display use.
