A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, brush-like rhythm with swelling curves, pointed terminals, and a lively forward movement. Capitals are sculpted and formal, while the lowercase adds fluidity through looped descenders and energetic entry/exit strokes, creating a distinctly dynamic texture in text.
Well suited to magazine and book editorial typography, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and standfirsts where a distinctive italic presence is desired. It can also support branding for luxury goods, beauty, hospitality, and cultural institutions, and works effectively on posters or packaging where high-contrast serif drama adds premium character.
This typeface projects a dramatic, editorial tone with a sense of luxury and assertiveness. Its slanted, high-fashion energy feels confident and expressive, while still retaining a classic, literary gravity typical of refined serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice with strong contrast and a pronounced sense of motion. Its forms prioritize elegance and emphasis, aiming to stand out in prominent settings while maintaining a coherent, traditional serif structure.
The punctuation and numerals carry the same energetic slant and contrast, helping maintain a consistent voice across mixed content. The overall spacing and rhythm read as intentionally lively, producing a textured, high-impact typographic color in longer lines.
