A right-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered stroke endings. The capitals are narrow and upright in proportion, with sharp, finely cut terminals and subtly flared joins that add a calligraphic snap. Lowercase forms show a smooth, continuous rhythm with angled stress, compact counters, and a measured x-height; descenders are long and sweeping in letters like g, j, p, q, and y. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with elegant curves and pointed entry/exit strokes that maintain a consistent forward motion.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can also work for book covers, luxury branding, and packaging that benefit from a classic yet energetic serif italic presence. In longer text, it will read best when given adequate size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, combining a traditional bookish sensibility with a more dramatic, fashion-leaning italic energy. Its sharp terminals and lively slant create a sense of speed and sophistication, while the classic serif structure keeps it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif italic: narrow, high-contrast forms with crisp, flared finishing that emphasize elegance and forward motion. It aims to provide an expressive typographic color for sophisticated display and editorial settings without departing from familiar serif conventions.
Stroke modulation is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong diagonal cadence in text. The design favors clean, sharp detailing over softness, which helps it read as precise and upscale, especially at display sizes.
