A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with smooth bracketed transitions that give the strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than abrupt terminals. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height, while the italic angle and diagonal stress create a lively, forward rhythm. Capitals are crisp and formal, and the figures appear lining with similarly pronounced contrast and refined curves.
This style suits editorial headlines, magazine and book titling, and premium branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also works well for invitations, packaging, and pull quotes, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining classical bookish refinement with a fashion-forward sheen. Its pronounced contrast and energetic italic movement give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice that feels editorial and ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic with calligraphic nuance and sculpted, flared terminals, balancing classical serif tradition with a contemporary, high-fashion presence for display-driven typography.
Curves show consistent tension and narrowing into terminals, producing a polished sparkle at larger sizes. The italic construction stays relatively stable and controlled, keeping word shapes clear while still emphasizing motion through tapered joins and flared stroke endings.
