This serif italic is built around a steep, consistent slant and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Strokes transition quickly into hairline terminals, with fine, sharp serifs and tapered entry/exit strokes that feel pen-led rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay generous, and the overall texture is light and airy despite the boldness of the main strokes. Spacing appears measured and even in text, with a lively, flowing baseline rhythm and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is desired—magazine headlines, subheads, and feature intros in particular. It can also support premium branding elements such as wordmarks, packaging accents, invitations, and short display copy where its fine details can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and high-end, conveying sophistication and a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and graceful movement suggest luxury, formality, and a contemporary take on classic italic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, expressive italic with classic serif cues and a distinctly modern, high-contrast finish. It prioritizes visual elegance and movement, aiming for strong presence in display and editorial settings while remaining orderly and readable in short text runs.
Capitals read as stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows distinctly calligraphic joins and tapered terminals that add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic motion, helping headlines and pull-quotes feel cohesive.
