A high-contrast italic serif with strong diagonal stress and a crisp, engraved-like texture. Thick main stems pair with very fine hairlines, producing sharp transitions and bright internal counters. Serifs are bracketed and taper into thin, pointed terminals; many joins and ends show subtly calligraphic shaping. Proportions feel generously set with open spacing and lively width variation across letters, while maintaining a coherent, disciplined rhythm suitable for continuous reading at display-to-text sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper features, book jackets, and editorial headlines where high contrast and italic energy can carry the page. It also fits luxury-leaning branding, invitations, and short-form typographic statements, and can work for refined subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sheen. Its steep italic posture and razor hairlines add a sense of motion and sophistication, giving text a confident, editorial voice rather than a neutral one.
Likely intended as a conventional text-serif italic with elevated contrast for a premium, editorial look. The design prioritizes elegance and rhythm—combining classic serif construction with a sharpened, high-fashion finish that stands out in display settings while remaining grounded in traditional text forms.
Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow in feel compared to the expansive italic sweep in the lowercase. The numerals echo the same contrast and slanted energy, with crisp horizontals and fine terminals that will reward good reproduction conditions.
