A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are narrow and forward-leaning, with calligraphic stress and a lively rhythm that shows in the tapered terminals and sweeping entry strokes. Capitals feel sculpted and formal, while the lowercase has a fluid, editorial texture; ascenders are tall and the overall color stays light and crisp despite the strong contrast. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic motion, giving text a continuous, polished slant.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine features, and headline typography where an elegant italic presence is desired. It can add a premium tone to luxury branding, invitations, and cover work, and performs best when given enough size and spacing to let the fine serifs and contrast remain clear.
The tone is sophisticated and expressive, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a distinctly upscale, fashion-oriented finish. Its italic voice reads confident and cultivated, with enough flourish to feel luxurious without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic serif voice with dramatic contrast and a polished, contemporary editorial finish. Its emphasis is on elegance and motion, providing a distinctive, high-end texture for display and prominent typographic moments.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture and clear directional movement. The italic construction is consistent across cases, creating cohesive emphasis and a refined, continuous flow in running lines.
