A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and tapered, brush-like terminals that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with smooth transitions into stems and a distinctly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous counters, and the overall texture is airy and polished, aided by long ascenders/descenders and carefully shaped bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, reading as delicate and editorial rather than stout or utilitarian.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book titling, pull quotes, and refined headlines where an expressive italic can carry voice and hierarchy. It can also support luxury or cultural branding applications—packaging, invitations, and identity wordmarks—especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample whitespace.
The tone is sophisticated and cultured, evoking classic book typography and contemporary fashion/editorial styling at once. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic forms give it a poised, expressive character suited to elegant messaging rather than blunt emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice that reads as premium and literary, combining traditional serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic energy. It prioritizes elegance and nuance in stroke modulation and terminals to create an articulate, expressive text image for display and editorial use.
In the sample text, the font maintains a smooth, even color at larger sizes, while the finest strokes and pointed terminals suggest it will feel most at home when given enough size and spacing to breathe. The italic construction is prominent and consistent, with distinctive, flowing forms in letters like g, y, and Q that add personality without becoming decorative.
