A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in the main curves and stems. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with a calligraphic, right-leaning construction that produces lively entry and exit strokes. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while joins and terminals show pronounced modulation and occasional teardrop-like finishing, creating a rhythmic, slightly swashy flow in lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, reading cleanly with distinctive thick–thin transitions and refined curves.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—such as headlines, magazine typography, book jackets, and refined branding lines. It also works well for emphasis in editorial layouts and for formal stationery where a classic italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and literary, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its steep italic energy and pronounced contrast add a sense of drama and formality, suitable for conveying luxury, tradition, and cultivated taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-fashion italic voice with strong calligraphic influence and a controlled, bookish texture. Its crisp serifs and dramatic thick–thin pattern suggest a focus on elegance and expressive emphasis rather than utilitarian body-text neutrality.
The italic angle and stroke modulation create strong word-shape momentum, with pronounced descending forms and expressive curves in letters like g, j, y, and z. At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals feel especially crisp and stylish, while the overall spacing keeps the texture smooth rather than overly dense.
