A slender, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into sharp, flared terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs, with narrow apertures and compact inner counters that keep the texture tight. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and diagonals stay clean and pointed, producing a polished, high-contrast rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The figures match the letterforms’ refinement, with similarly tapered strokes and elegant curves.
This style is well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and chapter titling, and other display applications where a refined, classic serif italic can carry personality. It can also work for short bursts of text—such as decks, captions, or bylines—when set with comfortable leading and enough size to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, with a lightly theatrical flair that feels at home in classic publishing and fashion contexts. Its sharp contrast and italic movement convey speed and elegance rather than neutrality, creating a distinctly expressive voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward italic voice with strong calligraphic cues and high contrast, optimized to look luxurious and precise in prominent typographic moments. Its narrow, tapered shapes and flared finishing details prioritize elegance and tone over plain utility.
Uppercase forms read statuesque and formal, while the lowercase brings more handwritten energy through tapered entry/exit strokes and lively bowls. Spacing appears designed for a cohesive, dark-leaning text color at larger sizes, where the contrast and sharp terminals remain crisp and intentional.
