A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and swollen, sculpted stems that create a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, with crisp entry and exit strokes that emphasize forward motion. Capitals feel spacious and composed, while lowercase forms show lively modulation in bowls and joins; the italic structure is evident in the slanted axis and gently flowing terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and finesse, reading cleanly at display sizes with a slightly airy, elongated presence.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book and chapter titles, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired as the primary style. It can also support premium branding and formal printed materials that benefit from high-contrast elegance, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, projecting an editorial sophistication associated with fashion, literature, and high-end publishing. Its dramatic contrast and italic energy add a sense of ceremony and flair without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a classical italic text-serif impression with heightened contrast and a confident, editorial color. The emphasis appears to be on expressive, calligraphy-informed italics that maintain conventional readability while offering a more glamorous, display-ready finish.
The face relies on fine hairlines and sharp terminals for its character, so it benefits from adequate size and good rendering conditions. Spacing appears open and measured, reinforcing a graceful texture in continuous text while keeping headlines crisp.
