A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The letters show a consistent rightward slant, with narrow joins and teardrop-like terminals that give strokes a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, often bracketed into stems, and the overall rhythm alternates between robust main strokes and extremely fine connecting strokes. Uppercase forms feel crisp and formal, while lowercase introduces more fluid entry/exit strokes and a slightly livelier texture in words.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titles where contrast and motion are desirable. It also fits branding for luxury goods, beauty, hospitality, and cultural events, as well as posters and invitations that benefit from a refined italic voice.
The tone is polished and aspirational, balancing classic bookish heritage with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics suggest luxury, ceremony, and premium editorial styling rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif for prominent typographic moments—combining traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and calligraphic detailing to create an upscale, attention-grabbing texture.
Figures and capitals read best when given space, as the thin hairlines and pointed terminals can visually close up at small sizes. The italic construction is strongly expressed across the set, creating a cohesive, forward-moving line in running text while remaining distinctly display-oriented.
