A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic skeleton and flared, tapering stroke endings. Thick verticals pair with hairline joins and entry/exit strokes, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm across lines. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while many terminals resolve into pointed, swept forms that accentuate the rightward slant. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, with strong diagonals and clean curves; lowercase shows flowing italic construction with lively ascenders and compact, rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with fine hairlines and elegant curves that read best when given space.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It can also serve premium branding and packaging accents, and selective book-cover or chapter-opening typography where a refined, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical authority with a fashionable, expressive italic energy. The strong contrast and sharp terminals add drama and sophistication, suggesting luxury and high-end editorial styling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical italic serif—leveraging extreme contrast, flared endings, and sharp serif detailing to create a distinctive, high-fashion editorial texture that stands out in display settings.
In text, the thin hairlines and delicate joins create a sparkling texture that benefits from generous sizes, careful reproduction, and comfortable tracking/leading. The italic forms are assertive enough to function as a primary voice, not only as emphasis, and the flared endings give headlines a distinctive, slightly calligraphic signature.
