This italic serif shows pronounced stroke modulation with hairline-thin connections and sharply swelling main strokes. Serifs are small and finely cut, often wedge-like, and terminals tend to finish in tapered points rather than blunt ends. The letterforms are narrow and lively, with a strong rightward slant and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow; curves are smooth and taut, and joins are crisp. Counters are relatively open for such a high-contrast style, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and commanding, reinforcing a refined, display-forward texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and branding where an upscale, editorial impression is desired. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, especially when ample leading and tracking are available to let the fine hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, combining classic bookish cues with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and quick, pointed finishing strokes give it a confident, high-end voice that feels ceremonial and expressive rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif for premium communication—balancing classical proportions with sharper, more fashion-oriented detailing and a strong sense of motion across the line.
Capitals present a stately, sweeping presence with generous curvature (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the italic construction keeps horizontals light and the diagonals energetic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender hairlines and stylish curves that read as sophisticated in larger settings.
