A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic that keeps curves lively and the texture elegant. Capitals are relatively narrow and stately, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and narrow apertures that emphasize a polished, high-end rhythm. Numerals follow the same sharply modulated, angled style, reading clean and poised in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, premium branding, and posters where contrast and elegance are central. It can also work for pull quotes or short passages at larger sizes, where the sharp modulation and italic flow remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a dramatic contrast that feels premium and editorial. Its italic energy adds movement and a touch of theatricality, making the voice feel cultured, expressive, and upscale rather than casual.
This design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-contrast italic voice for contemporary editorial and brand settings. The combination of crisp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and controlled calligraphic construction suggests an intention to balance traditional serif refinement with modern, high-impact presentation.
The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, controlled slant, and many characters feature fine entry/exit strokes that sharpen the silhouette. In the sample text the color stays airy, with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines and a strong vertical emphasis from the thicker stems, suggesting it is happiest when given room to breathe.
