A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The strokes show a calligraphic logic with tapered entries and exits, and the serifs are fine and neatly bracketed rather than blocky. Proportions read on the wider side with generous set and open counters, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and slightly airy. The italic slant is consistent and smooth, giving the letterforms a flowing rhythm without becoming overly cursive.
This style is well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and sophistication are desirable. It can also support luxury-leaning branding and packaging, and works effectively on book covers or section openers where a refined italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining classical bookish structure with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward flair. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing give it a luxe, headline-ready presence, while the steady rhythm keeps it poised rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic italic serifs: highly contrasted and elegant, with crisp hairlines and a measured width for impactful, stylish typography. It aims to balance expressive movement with enough structure to remain legible and composed in short to medium-length settings.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast model, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that emphasize a refined, print-oriented look. The lowercase includes a single-storey italic “a” and “g,” reinforcing the calligraphic feel and a cohesive, formal texture in text.
