A sharply italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves and joins show strong thick–thin modulation, with narrow hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems, producing a sculpted, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions lean elegant rather than robust: capitals feel tall and poised, while lowercase features a notably compact x-height and energetic ascenders/descenders. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, with smooth, tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic, chiseled finish.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial, premium branding, and poster titles where contrast and slant can be showcased. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck lines, especially where a classic, upscale voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, pairing classical refinement with assertive contrast and slanted motion. It reads as polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial character that feels at home in high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like italic presence: dramatic contrast, precise hairlines, and a refined, high-fashion posture. Its compact lowercase and consistent italic angle suggest a focus on elegant hierarchy and striking title typography rather than long-form text comfort.
The figures appear italicized and styled to match the text, emphasizing continuity between text and numerals. Spacing and letterforms create a lively, shimmering texture at display sizes, while the compact lowercase height keeps the silhouette sophisticated and tightly composed.
