A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller, sculpted main strokes. The forms lean strongly with a lively, calligraphic rhythm, and the serifs are small, bracketed, and often wedge-like, reinforcing a crisp entry/exit on curves and diagonals. Capitals feel formal and slightly narrow with pointed terminals and pronounced stroke modulation, while the lowercase shows more fluidity and occasional swash-like tails. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with italic stress and varied figure widths that create an animated texture in running settings.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where an elegant italic can carry emphasis. It also fits formal branding moments such as invitations, packaging accents, and book or magazine covers where contrast and motion are desirable.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, balancing classical bookishness with a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong italic motion and gleaming contrast give it a sophisticated, editorial voice that can feel both traditional and energetic.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic flow, aiming for polish and drama in display and emphasized text rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design reads best when it has room to breathe: thin hairlines and sharp joins contribute to a sparkling texture at display sizes, while tight spacing or very small settings may make the finest strokes feel delicate. Round letters show clear italic stress, and many terminals finish with decisive, angled cuts that add bite to the silhouette.
