A high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Strokes move from hairline thin to bold swells with a calligraphic rhythm, producing sharp joins and pointed terminals, especially visible in the diagonals and curved capitals. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a moderate x-height and long, flowing extenders that create a lively vertical texture. Figures follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that keep the overall color light and refined.
Well suited to editorial contexts where elegance and emphasis are needed, such as magazine headlines, deck lines, and pull quotes. It also fits book covers and titling, fashion and beauty branding, and formal materials like invitations or certificates where a refined italic serif voice is desirable.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone—formal without feeling stiff. Its pronounced contrast and italic motion suggest luxury and editorial sophistication, with a literary, classic sensibility suited to expressive typography.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated display and emphasis—capturing the feel of traditional serif italics with a modern sharpness and a deliberate, calligraphic stroke modulation.
In text, the strong contrast and hairline details create an airy texture that benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing, while the italic angle adds momentum for emphasis. The glyphs maintain consistent stress and terminal treatment across letters and numerals, giving headings and pull quotes a cohesive, crafted look.
