A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline joins and sharply tapered serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a rhythmic, calligraphic modulation, with swelling curves and thin entry/exit strokes that end in pointed terminals. Counters are relatively open, capitals are broad and stately, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with lively ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, with elegant curves and thin, precise finishing strokes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—magazine features, headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and cultural or luxury branding. It can also work well for formal stationery and invitations when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, combining classical bookishness with a polished, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp finishes and energetic slant add drama and momentum, making text feel upscale, intentional, and slightly theatrical without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with elevated contrast and a distinctly contemporary sharpness. The intent appears to be a versatile editorial italic that feels premium and expressive, while remaining grounded in familiar text-serif construction.
Diagonal strokes in letters like N, V, W, and X emphasize the italic tension, while rounded forms (O, Q, a, e) show a consistent oblique stress and smooth contrast transitions. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample read as refined and compact, reinforcing an editorial personality.
