A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and sharply tapered entry/exit strokes. The forms lean noticeably with a calligraphic, pen-driven modulation: thickened diagonals and downstrokes pair with very thin cross-strokes and delicate bracketed serifs. Counters are open and oval, proportions feel slightly narrow in many letters, and spacing reads measured and even, giving the alphabet a smooth, continuous rhythm. Numerals share the same refined contrast and italic slant, with elegant curves and fine terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with real character. It also works effectively for fashion and luxury branding, invitations, and other display settings that benefit from a refined, high-contrast italic texture.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic motion suggest luxury, culture, and a classic literary sensibility rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, catalog-ready italic that feels rooted in classical serif tradition while prioritizing elegance and motion. Its delicate hairlines and controlled rhythm suggest an emphasis on premium presentation and expressive emphasis rather than rugged everyday utility.
Capitals show restrained, classical construction with clean joins and minimal ornament, while lowercase letters emphasize movement through long, tapered strokes and gently swelling curves. In text, the contrast and sharp terminals create a bright texture that looks best when given room—especially at display sizes or with comfortable line spacing.
