A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic stress: thick, sculpted main strokes paired with hairline joins and razor-thin serifs. Letterforms are relatively wide with open counters and a smooth, flowing rhythm, while terminals often resolve into sharp points or tapered wedges. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with crisp bracketed serifs and delicate entry/exit strokes that give the face a refined, polished texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other high-impact display settings where its hairlines and contrast can be rendered cleanly. It can also work for short pulls, deck text, and refined titling, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and showy, balancing luxury cues with a lively italic motion. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves suggest an upscale, editorial voice—confident, stylish, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to deliver classic, conventional serif credibility while leaning into contemporary editorial glamour through pronounced contrast and an assertive italic stance. The goal is a crisp, luxurious texture that elevates titles and branded messaging with a sense of craft and refinement.
In the grid, rounded forms like O/Q show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and diagonals (V/W/X) carry strong tapering that reinforces the italic cadence. The figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairline details that read as display-minded when enlarged.
