A sharply slanted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and tapered with subtle bracketing, while joins and terminals show a crisp, engraved-like finish. Capitals are narrow and poised with lively diagonals, and the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with compact, teardrop-like counters and neatly clipped entry/exit strokes. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender spines and delicate curves that read best at moderate to large sizes.
Well-suited for magazine display typography, fashion and beauty branding, cultural or literary headlines, and elegant packaging. It also works for pull quotes and opening lines where the italic voice and contrast can be appreciated, rather than extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its steep italic and dramatic contrast feel expressive yet controlled, suggesting sophistication, tradition, and a touch of theatrical flair.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for refined display use, pairing traditional serif cues with a crisp, contemporary finish. Its priority seems to be elegance and expressive emphasis, offering a distinctive italic voice for editorial hierarchy and sophisticated branding.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a flowing baseline, but the hairline details and tight inner spaces can become fragile as sizes drop or reproduction softens. The design’s energy comes from its steep slant and sharp terminals, which make it especially striking in short bursts of text.
