A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The letterforms lean decisively, with smooth, calligraphic flow and sharp terminals that create a lively rhythm. Proportions feel on the wider side with open counters and a clear, legible skeleton, while the overall texture alternates between bold strokes and hairline joins for a polished, luxurious look.
Well-suited for magazine and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or sophisticated subheads. It also fits branding systems in luxury, beauty, hospitality, and cultural institutions, as well as packaging and invitations where a classic, polished serif italic can carry the message with authority.
This typeface conveys an elegant, editorial tone with a sense of refinement and poise. Its slanted, high-fashion energy reads confident and a bit dramatic, suggesting classic sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice that can add emphasis and personality without sacrificing clarity. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details are tuned to feel premium and expressive, making it suitable for prominent typographic moments as well as controlled, high-end text settings.
The italic construction maintains a conventional, readable serif structure while leaning into showy contrast and pointed details. Numerals match the overall elegance, with similarly sharp terminals and strong modulation that keeps them visually consistent alongside text.
