A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapered serifs. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a sharp light–dark rhythm, while many terminals finish in pointed, calligraphic flicks. Proportions run on the wider side with generous counters and a lively, slightly variable rhythm across letters. The lowercase shows an energetic cursive construction with a single-storey a and g, an angled e, and a long, descending f; numerals follow the same italic slant with elegant, sweeping curves.
Best suited to editorial settings where a refined italic voice is needed—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book or article titling. It can also serve luxury-oriented branding and packaging when used at larger sizes to let the hairlines and pointed terminals reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, mixing traditional bookish formality with a more theatrical, calligraphic flair. Its sharp contrast and animated terminals add drama and sophistication, evoking fashion, culture, and classic editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading tradition through an expressive italic lens, emphasizing contrast, motion, and calligraphic finish. It aims to provide a sophisticated, attention-catching texture for prominent typography rather than anonymous body text.
The capitals feel stately and steady, while the lowercase introduces more motion through curved entry strokes and long descenders. In text, the spacing reads open and the italic texture is prominent, with distinctive swash-like details that give words a lively silhouette.
