A high-contrast italic serif with an energetic, calligraphic construction. Thick strokes are paired with hairline joins and sharp, tapered terminals, while the serifs feel bracketed and subtly flared where strokes meet the baseline and cap line. The italic angle is assertive, creating a forward rhythm, and the letterforms show lively modulation—narrower joins, swelling stems, and crisp entry/exit strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open, and the numerals echo the same contrast and sweeping stress for a cohesive text-and-display texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and italic motion can be featured. It also works for short passages or introductions at comfortable sizes, especially in print-oriented or editorial contexts where a refined, expressive serif is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its steep slant and razor-thin hairlines lend a fashionable, high-end feel, while the classical proportions keep it rooted in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic voice with classical serif cues—combining sharp hairlines and flared/bracketed stroke endings to achieve a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture.
In the sample text, the strong diagonal motion and contrast produce a rich, dark texture at larger sizes, while the thinnest strokes can become visually delicate in dense settings. Capitals read especially stately and sculpted, and the italic forms emphasize movement and emphasis without feeling overly ornamental.
