A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, sharp wedge-like serifs, and smoothly swelling main strokes. The overall construction feels calligraphic rather than geometric, with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant that creates a flowing baseline rhythm. Capitals are narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows a cursive-leaning structure with a single-storey a, looped descenders, and long, gently curved entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the text style, using delicate hairlines and angled stress for an airy, polished color on the page.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where the delicate hairlines can be preserved—magazines, lookbooks, book covers, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks. It also fits formal stationery and invitations where an italic serif can provide a classic, upscale voice.
The tone is cultivated and graceful, leaning toward editorial sophistication and luxury cues. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic motion read as expressive and formal, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and a premium finish rather than utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-style italic for sophisticated typography—prioritizing elegance, motion, and contrast to elevate titles and premium messaging. Its forms suggest a contemporary take on traditional italic serif conventions, tuned for graceful reading rhythm and visual refinement.
In continuous text the letterforms create a pronounced diagonal movement, with open counters and fine connecting strokes that emphasize fluidity. The uppercase forms retain a stately presence without feeling heavy, and the italic details (curled terminals and looped descenders) contribute a distinctly elegant texture.
