A refined italic serif with crisp, sharply tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Curves feel smoothly drawn with a calligraphic stress, while terminals often finish in pointed, wedge-like details that add snap at display sizes. Capitals are spacious and slightly flourished without becoming ornate, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact joins and clear, open counters. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with energetic diagonals and angled entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book and journal typography, and other editorial contexts where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with style. It performs particularly well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand statements that benefit from a polished, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sheen typical of editorial typography. It balances tradition with a touch of theatricality, giving headlines and pull quotes a confident, high-polish voice.
Likely designed as a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif for expressive text and display work, combining classical serif proportions with crisp, modern finishing. The emphasis appears to be on elegance, rhythm, and striking word shapes rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design leans on angled strokes and sharp terminals to create momentum, producing a lively line even in short words. The italic slant is consistent and purposeful, and the strong contrast makes the texture sparkle, especially in larger settings.
