A sharp, high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp hairline connections. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to needle-thin serifs and joins, giving the letterforms a carved, glossy feel. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional calligraphic flicks that show up clearly in the lowercase. Proportions read on the wider side with open counters and an even, steady rhythm; numerals and capitals maintain the same elegant contrast and slanted stance.
Best suited to display and larger text where the hairlines and delicate serifs can reproduce cleanly—such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cultural branding, book covers, and upscale invitations. It can work for short passages or lead-ins when set with generous size and careful spacing, but its fine details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing traditional book-serifs with a distinctly editorial flair. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement feel sophisticated and a bit theatrical, suited to high-end or literary contexts rather than utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and a contemporary editorial sheen. It aims to look luxurious and articulate while staying grounded in familiar serif proportions for comfortable reading in prominent text settings.
The lowercase shows more personality than the capitals, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a few swash-like moments that add texture in running text. The figures appear designed to harmonize with the text style, keeping the same crisp contrast and refined finishing.
