This is a high-contrast italic serif with a sharp, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and curves taper to fine points, while terminals and serifs broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like endings that keep the forms crisp rather than bracketed. The italics have a lively forward slant and a fluid rhythm, with compact counters and carefully controlled joins that emphasize a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and narrow-leaning in their silhouettes, while the lowercase shows a slightly varied, energetic cadence with tapered entry strokes, pointed apexes, and delicate hairlines in curves and diagonals; numerals match the same high-contrast, fashion-leaning voice.
It excels in display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, event posters, and high-impact pull quotes. It can also work for short editorial subheads or introductions where the elegant italic rhythm is an advantage, but it is best used where its hairlines won’t be lost.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a sense of luxury and cultural refinement. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast add theatrical emphasis, while the disciplined shapes and flared details keep it grounded in classic editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial italic with classic serif cues, using extreme contrast and flared stroke endings to create a sharp, premium voice. The emphasis is on stylish motion, crisp detail, and memorable headline presence rather than utilitarian body-text neutrality.
The font’s thin strokes are extremely fine relative to its main stems, so its personality depends strongly on clean reproduction and sufficient size. The italic angle and tapered terminals create strong directional flow, making it particularly striking in short bursts of text.
