A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and delicate hairlines set against broader, tapered main strokes. Stems and serifs often finish in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals, creating a sculpted feel rather than blunt slab endings. The capitals are tall and gently broad with generous bowls and carefully tapered joins, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with a single-storey italic “a” and a looped, descending “g”. Numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted logic, with sharp entry/exit strokes and elegant curves that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where contrast and italic energy are assets. It can also serve for short-form text such as intros or captions when set with comfortable size and leading to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward classic print sophistication with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its lively slant and crisp hairlines add a sense of motion and drama, giving text a poised, premium character without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end italic voice rooted in calligraphic serif tradition, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and expressive stroke contrast for impactful display and editorial use.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, so counters and spacing read as open and bright, especially in rounded forms. Many letters show long, pointed terminals and brisk curves, which enhances the italic flow and makes the texture feel fluid and slightly expressive at display sizes.
