A slanted, high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a sharp, polished texture. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that accentuate the diagonal stress. Proportions feel compact and vertically oriented, with narrow capitals and a steady rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same contrast model and show stylized curves and angled entry/exit strokes that match the italic flow.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book or journal packaging—where high contrast and italic energy can be featured. It also fits upscale branding and stationery applications that benefit from a classic, formal serif voice.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its brisk contrast and italic momentum suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, literary voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic serif for conventional text and display use, combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast for a luxe, print-oriented feel. Its controlled narrowness and sharp finishing details suggest a focus on refined hierarchy and stylish emphasis.
The italics lean is consistent and gives lines a fluid forward motion, while the tight proportions keep word shapes controlled and refined. The design favors sharp joins and clean apertures, creating a bright, high-end impression in display and larger text settings.
