This is a high-contrast italic serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered entry and exit strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a clean, chiseled feel and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. The italic construction is pronounced, producing a lively diagonal rhythm; the lowercase shows calligraphic influence with flowing joins and a slightly variable footprint from letter to letter. Capitals are stately and open, with refined curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S) and a long, sweeping Q tail. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing slender hairlines with heavier stems and maintaining an overall delicate, fashion-oriented texture.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial or branding contexts where high contrast and an expressive italic voice can be appreciated. It is also well-suited to luxury packaging, event stationery, and short-form text where elegance and emphasis are priorities.
The font reads as sophisticated and assertive, balancing classic bookish authority with a couture-like sense of polish. Its bright contrast and energetic italic angle create a dramatic, upscale tone that feels suited to refined, high-visibility typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs, emphasizing sharpness, elegance, and expressive movement. Its details suggest a focus on sophisticated display typography that still remains coherent in larger text settings.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp terminals create a sparkling page color, with especially prominent diagonals and tapered joins. The ampersand is notably decorative and calligraphic, acting as a natural focal character in display settings.
