A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes show diagonal stress with sharp hairlines and tapered, wedge-like serifs that often feel lightly bracketed. Proportions are open and legible with a moderate x-height, while ascenders and capitals read tall and airy; curves and joins are smooth and controlled, giving the design a crisp, polished rhythm in text and display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book titling where an expressive italic voice is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, refined impression, and can add elegance to invitations and short-form display copy.
The overall tone is elegant and cultured, with a fashion-editorial sheen and a classical, literary refinement. Its lively italic motion adds sophistication and a sense of formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic companion for refined typography, prioritizing graceful movement, crisp contrast, and a clean, contemporary finish rooted in traditional serif forms.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and italic momentum, creating a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. The italic angle is consistent and the letterforms keep generous counters, helping the style remain readable despite delicate hairlines.
