A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered joins, paired with smooth, swelling curves on the main strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into pointed, calligraphic terminals that give many letters a gently swashed finish. The rhythm is flowing and right-leaning, with lively entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and delicate interior details that read best at generous sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same refined stroke contrast and angled stress, producing a cohesive, polished texture in continuous text.
Well suited to magazine layouts, pull quotes, and headline typography where contrast and slanted motion can be showcased. It also fits formal invitations and upscale branding, especially for beauty, hospitality, and cultural projects. For body text, it will perform best at larger sizes or in short passages where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, combining classic bookish grace with a fashion-forward sense of drama. It feels poised and expressive rather than neutral, with a formal, luxurious presence that suits high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional italic text serif with heightened contrast and graceful, calligraphic finishing. Its emphasis on fine hairlines, flowing diagonals, and selective swashiness suggests a focus on elegance and display-led readability rather than utilitarian text setting.
Distinctive swash-like terminals appear on several lowercase forms and in letters like Q and W, adding flourish without becoming overly ornate. The thin connecting strokes and sharp terminals create a crisp, engraved impression that benefits from ample spacing and clean reproduction.
