A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced diagonal stress and sharply tapered stroke endings that broaden into subtle flares at terminals. The forms are narrow and fluid with long, clean entry/exit strokes, crisp apexes, and a lively baseline rhythm. Serifs are refined and bracketed, with thin hairlines and weight concentrated in the main strokes, producing a polished, editorial texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, book-cover titling, and refined branding where an italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and certificates, especially at medium to larger sizes where the thin hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, with a fashion-and-literature sensibility. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic movement add drama and sophistication, while the crisp detailing keeps it poised rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—pairing traditional proportions with energetic, tapered terminals for a luxurious, high-fashion presentation.
Capitals show sculpted, classical proportions with pointed joins and a consistent rightward slant. Lowercase maintains a steady x-height and open counters, and the numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and angled stance, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
