A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems and swelling curves. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a distinctly calligraphic, pen-driven modulation and crisp terminals. The italic angle is assertive, producing lively diagonals and a forward rhythm; counters stay relatively open despite the contrast. Capitals feel slightly formal and sculpted, while lowercase shows expressive entry/exit strokes, a single-story italic “a,” and a long, elegant descender on “f,” contributing to an animated texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and high-end branding where elegance and motion are desired. It also works well for invitations and short-form display copy, where the crisp hairlines and calligraphic italics can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sweeping italic forms and hairline details suggest luxury and ceremony, balancing classical restraint with a fashion-forward flair.
The design appears intended as a refined italic for conventional serif typography that adds expressive movement and high-contrast sophistication. Its details prioritize elegance and visual drama for display and editorial settings rather than utilitarian neutrality.
In running text the strong contrast creates a pronounced light–dark shimmer, especially where hairline joins meet heavy stems. The numerals and caps maintain the same sharp modulation and slanted stance, giving headlines a cohesive, high-style presence.
