A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms show vertical stress, tapered entries, and clean, unbracketed terminals that create a sparkling rhythm in text. Capitals are tall and sculpted with generous curves and pointed joins, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably low x-height, giving ascenders and capitals added prominence. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with fine hairlines and italic movement that matches the text face.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and high-end branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for short blocks of text in print-oriented settings, but it will be most legible and characterful when given enough size and spacing to let the hairlines and serifs breathe.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its strong contrast and italic cadence add drama and sophistication, reading as classic, polished, and intentionally formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look with an italic-forward personality, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and refined detail. Its proportions and contrast suggest an intention to create striking, upscale typography for editorial and branding contexts.
The design’s narrow hairlines and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast can read cleanly. The italic construction is expressive, with lively curves and occasional swash-like terminals that emphasize motion and flourish.
