A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic that shows in the curved joins and pointed entry/exit strokes. Capitals are compact and assertive with crisp diagonals, while the lowercase introduces more movement through occasional swashy forms and lively ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast rhythm, mixing sturdy main stems with fine hairlines and curved foot strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand statements where a confident italic voice is desired. It can also serve invitations and formal announcements, especially where a classic, high-contrast look helps convey sophistication. In longer passages it will read most comfortably at moderate sizes with generous spacing due to the crisp hairlines and energetic slant.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining traditional book-serif cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward slant. Its contrast and sharp detailing give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to premium or ceremonial messaging.
Designed to provide a traditional serif italic with elevated contrast and a touch of flourish, balancing readability with a polished, attention-grabbing rhythm. The intent appears to be a versatile editorial italic that can move from refined text settings to expressive display use without losing its formal backbone.
The italic angle and contrast create a strong directional flow across lines, with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines at text sizes shown in the sample. Some characters lean into expressive curves (notably in the lowercase and select capitals), which adds personality but keeps a disciplined, conventional serif structure.
