A refined italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced slant with calligraphic stress, producing crisp entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals. Capitals are open and sculpted, with ample inner counters and long, delicate finishing strokes, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm through compact joins and clear, angled shoulders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine, precise curves for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where its high-contrast italics can read as intentional emphasis. It will also work well for fashion and luxury branding, book covers, and event collateral that benefits from a formal, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward luxury and editorial polish. Its energetic italic flow adds theatrical emphasis without feeling casual, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and high-end refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated italic companion for classic serif typography, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement for display and editorial emphasis.
Stroke endings are consistently sharp and clean, giving the face a glossy, engraved-like crispness at larger sizes. The slanted forms create a lively baseline movement, and the high-contrast joins can appear delicate when reduced, reinforcing its preference for prominent settings.
