A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and strongly bracketed, flaring serifs. Strokes transition abruptly between hairline joins and heavy stems, with pointed terminals and wedge-like finishes that create a lively, cutting edge. The uppercase forms feel broad and stately, while the lowercase shows a clear italic rhythm with angled entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and energetic descenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with sharp beaks and tapered curves that keep figures aligned with the text color.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and sophisticated branding where a polished italic voice is desired. It can also work for book covers and pull quotes, especially when set large enough for its hairlines and sharp terminals to remain clear in print and on screen.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, mixing classic book-italic manners with a sharper, fashion-forward attitude. Its bright hairlines and assertive thick strokes give it a confident, high-end voice suited to expressive typography where refinement and impact need to coexist.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of italics with heightened contrast and a pronounced calligraphic edge, prioritizing elegance and emphasis over neutrality. It aims to create a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture that still feels rooted in conventional text-serif proportions.
Across the alphabet and sample text, spacing reads on the open side and the italic angle is consistent, producing a steady forward motion. The strong contrast and delicate joins make the texture sparkle at display sizes, while extended text benefits from careful sizing to keep hairlines from visually thinning.
