An italic serif with sharp, knife‑edge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals show a clear calligraphic rhythm, with fine hairlines, crisp terminals, and smooth, continuous curves. Proportions skew spacious in the caps with a slightly extended feel, while lowercase forms are compact and fluid, keeping counters open and legible. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, with delicate entry strokes and tapered finishing flicks.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, magazine work, and formal pieces such as invitations or packaging, and can work in short text passages when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward sheen. Its steep contrast and lively italics read as dramatic and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
Designed to deliver a refined, high-end italic voice rooted in classic serif traditions, emphasizing elegance, contrast, and forward motion for impactful display and editorial composition.
The font’s energy comes from consistent slant, pointed serifs, and tapered joins that create a swift, written cadence. Round letters maintain tight, controlled ovals, while diagonals and swashes add a subtle flourish without becoming ornamental.
