A high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered thick-to-thin transitions and a pronounced forward slant. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals that add crispness at the ends of strokes. Counters are moderately open, while joins and curves show a calligraphic rhythm, especially in the lowercase where descenders and entry strokes form subtle swashes. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with sculpted curves and distinctive terminals that keep them visually consistent with the text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine styling, and other situations where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also work for premium packaging, invitations, and brand accents where high contrast and sharp serif detailing help convey sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward classic print elegance rather than utilitarian text neutrality. Its sharp serifs and energetic italic motion give it a fashion/editorial feel with a slightly theatrical flair.
This design appears intended to deliver a confident, classic italic serif with elevated contrast and a calligraphic cadence, emphasizing elegance and impact in display and short-to-medium text settings.
The uppercase feels stately and display-leaning due to its strong contrast and crisp terminals, while the lowercase adds warmth through rounder forms, occasional ball-like finishing, and flowing connections. The italic angle and stroke modulation create a lively texture that reads best with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
