A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel cut and polished. Strokes shift quickly from hairline to substantial stems, with rounded joins and a smooth, forward-leaning axis that keeps word shapes lively. The letterforms are relatively open and wide, with generous curves in C/O and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic modulation through the lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with crisp entry/exit strokes and a display-friendly presence.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where an expressive italic can carry personality on its own. It can also work for short-to-medium passages in print contexts when ample size and leading are available to accommodate the thin hairlines and sharp details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, leaning toward luxury-editorial polish rather than neutral text utility. Its dramatic contrast and flowing italic cadence evoke traditional book typography and fashion-minded headlines, with a confident, formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, upscale serif italic with pronounced contrast and a graceful, calligraphy-informed flow, optimized for stylish display and strong typographic color in larger settings.
Capitals show strong sculptural silhouettes (notably the round forms and the sweeping Q), while the lowercase features energetic ascenders and lively, curved terminals that add motion in continuous text. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample feel bold and ornamental enough to carry emphasis without turning into a script.
