A high-contrast serif italic with hairline-thin horizontals and serifs paired with fuller, tapered vertical strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing crisp, bracketed serifs and pointed terminals that give strokes a sharpened, chiseled finish. Capitals are relatively narrow and stately, while the lowercase is more fluid, with long ascenders/descenders and teardrop-like joins and swash-leaning entry strokes in letters such as a, f, and y. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted construction, reading like text figures in spirit with delicate curves and precise stress.
Best suited to display and short-form typography such as magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and premium branding where the elegant slant and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can work for body copy in high-quality settings at comfortable sizes, particularly for editorial layouts that benefit from a classic, refined italic voice.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone—more couture and literary than casual—balancing delicacy with authority. Its steep contrast and sweeping italics suggest formality, sophistication, and a classic editorial voice appropriate for premium contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing grace, pace, and high-end refinement. Its combination of disciplined serif structure and calligraphic movement suggests a focus on expressive editorial styling rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
In continuous text the strong diagonal motion and narrow counters create a lively, fast-paced texture, while the razor-thin details demand adequate size and good printing/screen conditions. The italic forms are expressive without becoming overtly script-like, maintaining a disciplined serif structure even in the more flowing lowercase.
