A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a brisk forward slant, tapered stroke endings, and crisp apexes, giving the shapes a polished, engraved-like precision. Capitals are stately and narrow-feeling with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and flowing joins with calligraphic curvature. Figures appear similarly contrasty and stylized, with thin entry/exit strokes and elegant, slightly theatrical silhouettes.
Best used for magazine-style typography, branding systems that need a premium voice, and display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and invitations. It can also work for short runs of emphasized text where its high contrast and italic energy remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone—luxurious and poised, with a hint of drama from the extreme contrast and sweeping italics. It feels suited to high-end presentation where elegance and sophistication are the primary message.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice with a modern, high-contrast finish—optimized for expressive typography that reads as upscale and carefully crafted.
Rhythm is lively due to the angled stress and dynamic curves, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. Fine hairlines and sharp terminals add sparkle but also make the overall color more delicate, especially in longer passages or smaller settings.
