A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced, calligraphic rhythm. Thick verticals pair with hairline connections and tapered stroke endings, creating bright, razor-thin counters and sharp, triangular entry/exit points. The capitals are sculpted and slightly wide-feeling in their curves, while the lowercase shows lively modulation with a single-storey a and g and a long, descending f. Numerals and round forms (O, Q, 0) are elegant and open, and overall spacing reads as display-leaning, with strong diagonals and energetic slant driving the texture.
Best suited to headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, and packaging where contrast and motion can be showcased. It also works well for pull quotes or short subheads, while extended small text may require careful sizing due to the very delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and theatrical, with an unmistakably editorial elegance. Its contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest sophistication and glamour, while the crisp terminals add a confident, modern edge to a classical foundation.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice that balances classical serif structure with striking contrast and expressive, calligraphic detailing. Its forms prioritize visual drama and elegance over neutrality, aiming for standout display performance.
The italic slant is consistent across the set, and many forms show flare-like widening near stroke endings, reinforcing a written, pen-driven feel. Hairlines are extremely fine relative to main stems, so the design reads best when given enough size and print-quality rendering.
