A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. Thin hairlines and sharp terminals balance fuller curved strokes, creating a crisp, bright texture. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional gently flared finishes. Letterforms feel slightly expansive with lively curves and a somewhat variable rhythm across characters, giving the face a bespoke, display-leaning polish while remaining coherent in running text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also support short passages in editorial layouts, book-cover typography, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic yet expressive serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic print sophistication. Its steep italic posture and sparkling contrast add a sense of motion and theatricality, while the traditional serif structure keeps it rooted in a timeless, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to merge conventional serif readability with a more fashion-forward, calligraphic italic presence. By combining sharp hairlines, graceful curves, and selective ornamental touches, it aims to deliver a sophisticated display texture that still behaves like a traditional text serif in structure.
Distinctive swash-like details appear in several characters (notably in the Q and some lowercase forms), adding personality without turning into a full script. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and italic cadence, supporting consistent emphasis in mixed-content settings.
