A slanted serif with sharp, tapered stroke endings and pronounced contrast between thick and hairline strokes. The letterforms feel drawn with a pointed tool: curves thin dramatically into entry/exit strokes, terminals often finish as needle-like wedges, and many joins show a subtle flare where strokes broaden before tapering away. Proportions are lively and slightly irregular across glyphs, giving a quick, handwritten rhythm while maintaining a coherent, classic serif structure. Numerals follow the same italic, calligraphic logic with sleek curves and thin finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and brand systems that need an elevated, stylish italic voice. It can work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages, and also fits formal pieces like invitations or programs where a refined, calligraphic serif is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, blending traditional bookish elegance with a fashionable, dynamic slant. It reads as polished and upscale, with a touch of dramatic flair from the sharp terminals and brisk movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a glamorous, calligraphy-inflected serif italic that feels both classic and contemporary. Its flared tapers and crisp hairlines prioritize elegance and motion, aiming to add character and sophistication to display and editorial settings.
In the text sample, the hairlines become very fine and the sharp terminals are prominent, which amplifies a crisp, high-end look but suggests it will reward generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The lowercase shows a flowing, cursive-like cadence, while caps remain formal and sculpted, making the contrast between headings and running text feel intentional.
