A sharply modulated italic serif with pronounced thick–thin rhythm and tapered, calligraphic terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketing is subtle, with many strokes ending in pointed or teardrop-like finishes that emphasize forward motion. Uppercase forms feel dignified and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while the lowercase shows a lively cursive structure with clear entry/exit strokes and a gently undulating baseline. Figures and punctuation follow the same crisp, high-contrast logic, producing a polished, print-oriented texture at text and display sizes.
This face is well suited to editorial layouts where a graceful italic voice is needed—magazine features, book typography, and refined headlines. It can add emphasis in pull quotes or lead-ins, and it performs best when ample size and spacing allow its hairlines and sharp terminals to remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a dramatic, fashion-editorial edge. Its strong italic momentum and refined detailing read as confident and upscale, suggesting classic sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a contemporary, polished finish—balancing traditional serif proportions with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic for expressive, upscale typography.
The sample text shows a smooth, continuous rhythm with distinct word shapes driven by energetic ascenders and carefully tapered curves. Round letters and bowls stay clean and controlled, while distinctive swash-like terminals (notably in letters such as f, y, and z) add personality without turning ornamental.
