A slanted, high-contrast design with thin hairlines and sharper, heavier diagonals and stems that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that keep counters open and forms clean. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and a gentle, continuous forward motion, producing a polished texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book-cover titling, and branded headlines where a refined italic presence is desired. It can also work for pull quotes and short-to-medium passages when paired with ample size and leading to let the fine hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, with a poised, editorial voice that suggests luxury and craft. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add a sense of speed and confidence without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as a modern, editorial italic that delivers elegance through contrast and controlled calligraphic cues while remaining clean and contemporary in construction.
Spacing appears measured and even, helping maintain clarity in continuous reading while preserving an italic sparkle. Numerals share the same contrast and angled stress, with graceful curves and sharp finishing strokes that match the letterforms.
