A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often flowing into entry and exit strokes that feel pen-informed, creating a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Proportions run on the broader side with open counters and generous curves in round letters, while the overall silhouette stays clean and polished.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and display typography where an elegant italic can add emphasis and momentum. It can also work for short introductions, invitations, brand taglines, and packaging that wants a polished, premium feel; for long-form text it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the contrast and fine hairlines can breathe.
This face conveys an elegant, editorial tone with a sense of speed and flourish. The strong italic slant and sharp, calligraphic detailing give it a dramatic, fashion-forward voice that reads as refined and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with strong contrast and confident movement, suitable for setting expressive lines that still feel classically rooted. Its stylized serifs and lively stroke endings prioritize personality and visual sparkle while retaining a conventional serif structure.
The capitals show strong, sculpted forms with pointed joins and occasional swash-like stroke endings, while the lowercase maintains a smooth cursive flow with pronounced entry strokes and fine hairlines. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, keeping the overall texture consistent in mixed text.
