This serif italic shows a steep rightward slant with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicately bracketed, with tapered entry strokes and pointed, wedge-like finishing strokes that give the forms a crisp, cut-paper quality. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is airy, with slender stems, tight curves, and a lively baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms read as poised and stately, while the lowercase emphasizes flowing joins and long, elegant extenders.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and refined headlines where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support short passages such as pull quotes, titles, and formal stationery, especially when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking traditional print sophistication and contemporary fashion editorial styling. It feels expressive without becoming ornate, balancing formality with a graceful, written energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif for high-end display and editorial use, prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven sparkle, and calligraphic movement over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
The figures and capitals appear designed for display-minded settings, with fine hairlines and sharp details that reward generous sizing and careful reproduction. The italic structure is consistent across the set, producing a continuous, sweeping movement in text lines.
