A high-contrast italic with sharp, tapered terminals and smoothly modulated curves. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust stems, with a consistent rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are generally open and oval, and joins are clean and precise, giving the forms a crisp, polished look. Proportions feel balanced with moderate x-height and slightly variable letter widths that add natural flow in text.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover treatments where the contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits refined branding and formal materials like invitations or packaging, and can work for short-to-medium editorial text where a stylish italic voice is desired.
The font conveys a poised, editorial sophistication—confident and polished rather than casual. Its pronounced contrast and italic motion suggest fashion, literature, and premium branding, with a touch of classic formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a modern crispness—prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm for editorial and brand-driven typography.
The italic construction is emphasized by angled entry/exit strokes and pointed finials, which create sparkle in larger sizes. Numerals share the same contrast and slant, reading as elegant and traditional rather than purely utilitarian.
