A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and crisp hairline connections. Strokes swell into sharp, tapered terminals, and the serifs read as fine, bracketed wedges rather than heavy slabs. Letterforms feel narrow and energetic, with a flowing rhythm and clear thick–thin modulation throughout caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall color is light and airy, with generous internal counters and long, clean curves in rounds like O and Q.
This style suits editorial display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand messaging where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for book covers and formal printed materials like invitations, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and fashion-adjacent sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and slanted posture add a sense of motion and cultivated luxury, making it feel more expressive than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with strong calligraphic modulation, pairing traditional serif structure with a more dramatic, display-oriented contrast.
Capitals show restrained, classical proportions with pointed joins and delicate finishing. The lowercase includes a single-storey italic “a” and “g”-like forms that reinforce a handwriting-derived texture, while numerals carry similarly calligraphic stress and sharp terminals for a cohesive, editorial look.
