A high-contrast italic serif with a strongly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with wedge-like entry strokes and bracketed serifs that often resolve into sharp points. The forms are lively and somewhat variable in apparent width, with generous curves, compact joins, and occasional flourished details (notably in capitals like Q and in the numerals). Ascenders are prominent, counters are relatively open, and the overall texture reads smooth and continuous in text while remaining incisive at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand applications where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can work for short to medium text in high-quality print or larger digital settings, but the pronounced contrast and lively detailing are most impactful when given enough size and spacing.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sweeping italic motion and sharp finishing strokes feel elegant and slightly theatrical, suggesting tradition interpreted through a more expressive, contemporary lens.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated italic with pronounced stroke contrast and expressive, calligraphy-informed detailing. The goal appears to be a refined, attention-getting serif that feels classic in structure while offering decorative sharpness and momentum for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the strong diagonals and pointed terminals create a vibrant word shape and clear emphasis, especially in capitals. The figures carry the same calligraphic energy as the letters, with noticeable stroke contrast and stylized curves that lean toward display use.
