A sharply slanted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and often tapered, with a calligraphic, pen-driven feel and diagonal stress that shows through in rounded forms. Capitals are narrow and poised with crisp entry strokes, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring looping joins, compact bowls, and occasional teardrop terminals that add sparkle without breaking the overall rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast model, with graceful curves and thin, sweeping strokes.
Well-suited to magazine headings, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its contrast and italic cadence can be appreciated. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and formal stationery, especially where a graceful, high-style voice is desired. For extended reading, it will generally perform best at comfortable sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution contexts.
The tone is polished and expressive, combining editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its crisp contrast and energetic slant read as luxurious and fashion-forward, while the classical serif structure keeps it grounded and bookish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif reading model filtered through an assertive, calligraphic italic, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. It balances traditional proportions with decorative terminals to create a distinctive editorial voice for display-led typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape motion and a lively texture, with thin strokes that become visually delicate at smaller sizes. Curves and terminals are intentionally stylized, giving the face a distinctive personality that stands out in display settings.
