A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings that often flare subtly at terminals. The forms are built from thin hairlines and stronger main strokes, with smooth, calligraphic modulation and bracketed transitions into the serifs. Uppercase letters feel slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase shows lively, flowing curves and a rhythmic, handwriting-informed construction. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, pairing sharp entry/exit strokes with rounded bowls for a polished, text-ready texture.
Well suited to magazine headlines, deck typography, pull quotes, and elegant branding where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can also work for book jackets and cultured packaging, especially when paired with a calmer roman or a low-contrast companion for body copy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, suggesting editorial refinement and a touch of fashion-forward glamour. Its graceful italics and sharp hairlines give it a premium, literary feel that reads as confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic serif with calligraphic energy—combining refined hairlines, flared terminals, and a disciplined rhythm to produce an upscale, editorial texture.
The italic is continuous and assertive, creating strong directional movement across words. Fine hairlines and pointed terminals produce a delicate sparkle at display sizes, while the more substantial main strokes help maintain legibility in longer lines when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
