A high-contrast italic serif with slim, tapered stems and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The serifs and terminals feel gently flared and wedge-like rather than blunt, with smooth, calligraphic joins and a consistent rightward slant. Counters are compact and oval, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is quick and vertical despite the italic movement. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted construction, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in text.
Best suited to magazine headlines, section openers, and refined branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations and premium packaging where contrast and calligraphic nuance can be showcased at larger sizes. In longer passages it can work as an accent style (pull quotes, intros, captions) when set with adequate size and line spacing.
The tone is sophisticated and style-forward, with a distinctly editorial glamour. Its sharp contrast and flowing italics suggest luxury, romance, and a curated, high-end sensibility while still reading as traditionally grounded.
The design appears intended as a stylish, high-contrast italic for expressive typography—delivering a luxe, classical impression with modern crispness. Its flared endings and sculpted curves aim to add warmth and motion without sacrificing a disciplined, editorial finish.
Uppercase forms project a poised, slightly formal presence, while lowercase shapes show more calligraphic motion in curves and descenders. The combination of narrow proportions and high contrast creates a bright page color at display sizes, with delicate hairlines that benefit from generous spacing and clean reproduction.
