A high-contrast italic serif with striking hairline horizontals and serifs set against firm, dark stems. The forms lean decisively forward with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining crisp, pointed terminals with occasional soft, swelling curves. Capitals read as sharp and sculpted, while the lowercase shows lively modulation and slightly varied character widths that create a dynamic texture in words. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with thin entry strokes and tapered finishes that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine-style layouts, and brand marks where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at display sizes. It can also work for luxury packaging and invitations, particularly for short lines of text where fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, evoking upscale editorial typography and fashion-led branding. Its brisk italic movement and razor-thin details feel confident and expressive, lending a sense of sophistication and theatrical flair to short statements.
Designed to deliver a classic serif voice with a fashion-forward italic expressiveness, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a lively word rhythm. The letterforms appear intended to make an immediate visual impression in display contexts while retaining conventional serif structure.
The ampersand is notably decorative and calligraphic, and several glyphs feature pronounced tapering and angled stress that enhance the handwritten-italic impression. The high contrast and fine serifs emphasize delicacy, especially in lighter strokes and tight joins.
