This is a high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Hairline entry strokes and sharp terminals combine with fuller, rounded bowls, creating a crisp rhythm that feels both delicate and controlled. Serifs are fine and wedge-like, often bracketed into stems, and many forms show diagonal stress typical of an italic text tradition. Proportions are slightly narrow in some letters with lively width variation across the set, and ascenders/descenders are relatively long, giving lines a fluid, elegant cadence.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and elegance can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes, particularly when ample leading and careful spacing are used to protect the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing sophistication with a sense of motion. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest luxury and editorial refinement, while the italic slant adds energy and a distinctly expressive voice.
The design appears intended as a refined italic companion for sophisticated typography, emphasizing expressive stroke modulation and a classic serif palette. Its construction prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming to deliver a luxurious editorial feel while maintaining familiar text-serif letterforms.
Uppercase forms read as formal and stately, while the lowercase introduces more cursive movement, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and tapered strokes that feel consistent with the text style.
