An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic slant. Strokes move from sharp hairlines into fuller main stems, with delicate, tapered serifs and wedge-like terminals that feel pen-driven rather than mechanical. Counters are relatively open and the overall construction is compact and controlled, while capitals show a sculpted, inscriptional flavor with crisp joins. The italic forms are lively, with flowing entry/exit strokes and subtly varied character widths that create a graceful, rhythmic texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, headlines, and elegant subheads. It also fits premium branding and packaging, as well as invitations and cultural materials that benefit from a classic, expressive serif italic. For longer passages, it will be most effective where generous sizing and careful reproduction preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward editorial sophistication and fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement add a sense of ceremony and romance, while still reading as a serious, classic text style.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic companion with strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, aimed at delivering elegance and emphasis in both display settings and refined text applications.
At display sizes the fine hairlines and sharp terminals become a key visual feature, giving the face a sparkling, high-end feel. The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) emphasizing fluidity and a slightly decorative finish.
