This serif italic shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with hairline serifs and sharply tapered curves. The letterforms are moderately condensed with a lively rightward slant, combining crisp, knife-like entry strokes with fuller main stems. Serifs read as delicate and mostly bracketed, and many terminals finish in pointed, slightly calligraphic wedges. Counters are relatively tight, joins are clean, and the overall texture is glossy and high-definition, emphasizing contrast and curvature over bulk.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and fashion or luxury branding where high contrast and italic energy are assets. It can also work well for short-form print pieces such as invitations or cultural programs, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement create a sense of urgency and flair, while the classic serif construction keeps it formal and traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a contemporary sharpness—prioritizing elegance, dynamism, and a premium feel for display-led settings.
Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and italic stance, with a distinctly stylized ‘1’ and curvier figures that feel display-oriented. The lowercase shows noticeable personality in letters like a single-storey ‘a’, a looped ‘g’, and a swash-like ‘f’, contributing to an expressive, editorial texture.
