A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and delicate hairlines set against sturdy main strokes. The forms show a calligraphic slant with smooth, sweeping curves and crisp terminals, producing an animated rhythm across words. Proportions feel slightly narrow with pronounced vertical stress, and the italics feature graceful entry and exit strokes on many lowercase letters. Numerals and capitals maintain the same polished, high-contrast construction, reading cleanly at display sizes while keeping a traditional serif structure.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where contrast and italic energy can be a feature rather than a liability. It can also work for upscale branding, lookbooks, invitations, and packaging accents, especially when paired with a calmer roman or a low-contrast companion for longer passages.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, combining classic bookish refinement with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its pronounced contrast and italic motion give it a poised, dramatic voice suited to premium, style-forward typography.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a polished, contemporary finish. The intent appears to emphasize elegance and movement while preserving conventional serif legibility for refined display and editorial settings.
The italic draws attention through strong stroke modulation and a lively baseline flow, with especially elegant bowls and swashes in letters like g, y, and Q. Spacing appears tuned for continuous text, but the thin hairlines and sharp details suggest it benefits from generous sizes or high-quality rendering.
