A sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered hairlines. Strokes carry a calligraphic slant with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly bracketed joins that keep the forms fluid rather than rigid. Capitals are tall and poised with generous curves and delicate terminals, while the lowercase shows a smooth, slightly varied rhythm that feels drawn rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine, pointed entry and exit strokes for an overall polished texture.
This style suits magazine and cultural editorial design, book covers, and high-impact headlines where contrast and gesture are assets. It also fits premium branding and formal invitations, especially when used at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and tapered details can remain clear.
The tone is sophisticated and high-end, leaning toward fashion and bookish elegance. Its dramatic contrast and flowing italic movement suggest formality, refinement, and a classic editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a couture-like finish—balancing traditional proportions with a more dramatic, display-forward edge.
In continuous text the letterforms create a lively diagonal cadence, with narrow hairlines that add sparkle and air between darker strokes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving headlines and pull quotes a cohesive, curated look.
