A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean forward with a brisk rhythm, combining crisp, pointed terminals with occasional teardrop/ball-like finishing on curves. Capitals are sculptural and slightly flamboyant, while lowercase shows compact bodies and lively joins that keep counters relatively small. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with curved, tapering strokes and delicate entry/exit points that emphasize a refined, engraved feel.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where its high-contrast details can stay crisp. It can add a premium, fashion-forward voice to magazine layouts, branding wordmarks, packaging, and formal invitations, particularly at larger sizes where hairlines and terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—luxury-leaning, formal, and distinctly editorial. Its sweeping italic energy reads confident and expressive rather than understated, evoking fashion typography and classic print sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, classic italic voice with dramatic contrast and refined finishing, prioritizing visual elegance and expressive movement for prominent typographic moments.
Stroke contrast is extreme enough that fine details (hairlines, serifs, and terminals) become key to the texture, especially in longer lines. Spacing appears generous in display settings, and the italic forms create a continuous, flowing line when set in words.
