A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. The letterforms show a calligraphic, angled-stress construction with smoothly bracketed serifs and sharp, knife-like terminals, especially visible on diagonals and entry/exit strokes. Proportions lean classical with moderate counters, a slightly fluid baseline rhythm, and punctuation-like details (dots and small terminals) rendered as delicate pinpoints. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with slender joins and prominent curves that keep the texture lively in display settings.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also serve refined branding applications—especially in beauty, fashion, and premium goods—where an italic serif with strong character can carry short phrases and titling.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial refinement and a sense of tradition. Its dramatic contrast and slanted, written-in-ink movement lend it a sophisticated, fashion-forward feel while still reading as conventionally serifed and composed.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic cadence, aiming for sophisticated display impact while retaining familiar serif conventions and readability at typical headline sizes.
The italics feel integral rather than merely slanted, with visibly shaped joins and varying stroke endings that create a dynamic, slightly swashy rhythm in words. Some characters exhibit distinctive calligraphic flare (notably in curved lowercase forms and the ampersand), which adds personality and movement without tipping into script.
