A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, hairline finishing. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining narrow joins and swelling curves that create a lively, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and terminals often end in angled, pen-like cuts. Capitals feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase shows fluid modulation and compact counters, giving the face an overall delicate, fashion-oriented presence.
Best suited for editorial typography where an italic with personality is desirable—magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also support upscale branding and event materials such as invitations and programs, especially where a delicate, high-contrast look is a feature rather than a limitation.
The tone is polished and literary, with an expressive italic voice that reads as refined and slightly dramatic. It suggests classic book typography and formal correspondence, carrying a sense of tradition while still feeling stylish and contemporary in its sharpness.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated italic serif for text and display use, emphasizing a calligraphic, high-fashion contrast and a graceful reading rhythm. The goal appears to be elegance and expressiveness without abandoning conventional serif structure and familiarity.
In the sample text, the slanted forms and strong stroke modulation produce an active line cadence, with noticeable emphasis from curved letters and swash-like terminals. Numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and italic energy, helping headlines and short phrases feel elevated and intentional.
