A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. The capitals are relatively wide with pointed, tapered serifs and smooth, continuous curves, while diagonals and horizontals snap into fine terminals. Lowercase forms are more calligraphic, with flowing entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like details (notably in letters such as j, y, z, and w), giving the texture a lively, slightly formal cadence. Counters are generous but tightly controlled by the contrast, and the overall color stays bright and airy, especially at display sizes.
This font is well suited to magazine mastheads, pull quotes, chapter openers, and other headline or titling roles where contrast and italic energy can shine. It also fits upscale branding systems, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a refined, boutique voice, especially when paired with a quieter text face for long reading.
The tone is polished and theatrical, evoking editorial sophistication and boutique luxury. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion feel expressive and cultured, suited to romantic or high-style messaging rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic flair, balancing formal structure with ornamental touches for standout display typography.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, producing strong directional movement across lines. Hairline features and delicate serif tips suggest best results with adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve fine detail; the numerals share the same tapered, elegant construction and lean.
