A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and a crisp, calligraphic stroke logic. Stems and diagonals show strong thick–thin modulation, with flared, tapering terminals and small bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Capitals are relatively narrow with sharp joins and pointed apexes, while the lowercase has flowing, slightly springy curves and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with graceful curves and tapered endings that maintain the light-on-dark contrast pattern.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium runs of text where its contrast and italic motion can shine—such as magazine features, book jackets, cultural programming, and refined branding. It also works well for quotes, intros, and section openers that need a graceful, elevated voice.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, combining editorial polish with a hint of handwritten sophistication. It reads as formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of tradition and quality to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with contemporary crispness, using strong contrast and flared endings to create a sense of motion and refinement. It aims for a premium, editorial feel that remains legible while still feeling expressive and styled.
The texture alternates between sturdy dark strokes and hairline connections, creating a lively, sparkling page color at display sizes. Letterforms show a consistent diagonal stress and tapered finishing throughout, which reinforces the italic movement without becoming overly decorative.
