A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. The capitals are narrow and upright in structure but strongly slanted overall, with wedge-like entry strokes and fine hairline serifs that feel lightly bracketed rather than blunt. Lowercase forms are compact and quick in rhythm, with a single-storey a and g, narrow bowls, and long, flowing italic stems that end in sharp, calligraphic flicks. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and italic stress, producing a cohesive, tightly spaced texture suited to narrow settings.
This font is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and cultural editorial layouts, and book or journal covers where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for formal invitations and brand wordmarks that benefit from a narrow, high-contrast silhouette, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines stay distinct.
The tone is refined and classical, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic movement convey sophistication and a slightly theatrical, high-fashion feel rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for editorial and display typography, emphasizing narrow proportions, dramatic modulation, and calligraphic motion. It prioritizes refined presence and a polished, traditional serif character in compact widths.
Stroke contrast is strong enough that counters and joins feel sculpted and glossy at display sizes, while the narrow set and steep slant create a fast, continuous line in text. The design favors pointed, directional terminals over rounded ball details, keeping the overall impression crisp and assertive.
