A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are broadly proportioned with generous internal space and a smooth, consistent rightward slant. Serifs tend toward fine wedges and hairlines, while many strokes finish in tapered or teardrop-like terminals, giving the contours a polished, drawn quality. Round letters show a vertical stress and tight hairlines, and the overall texture is light and airy despite the boldness of the main stems.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and high-end branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works well for invitations, title treatments, and pull quotes, especially at moderate to large sizes where the hairlines and terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone with a hint of drama. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted italic movement feel fashion-forward and literary, suggesting sophistication, confidence, and a classic sense of taste.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion italic serif with a distinctly refined finish—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and flowing reading rhythm for display and polished editorial settings.
In continuous text the rhythm is fluid and slightly theatrical, with crisp entry/exit strokes and clean joins that keep paragraphs looking refined rather than decorative. The numerals match the letterforms with strong contrast and elegant curves, maintaining a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
