A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Thick vertical and diagonal stems pair with hairline cross-strokes, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm, especially visible in letters like N, V, W, and the numerals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often drawn as wedge-like entry/exit strokes, giving forms a fast, cut-by-pen feel. Proportions are generous and somewhat expanded, with wide bowls and open counters in C, O, and e, while the italic construction introduces subtle width variation across the set. Overall spacing feels airy at display sizes, with delicate joins and thin stress lines that emphasize elegance over ruggedness.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and premium branding where high contrast and italic dynamism can lead the layout. It can also work for short introductions or captions in elegant editorial settings, particularly when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The tone is refined and dramatic, suggesting fashion-led editorial typography and classic luxury branding. Its pronounced contrast and fluid italic movement convey sophistication and a slightly theatrical flair, reading more like crafted headline typography than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to translate a classic book-seriff foundation into a more couture, display-forward italic—prioritizing contrast, gesture, and refined detail for high-impact typographic voice.
Distinctive swash energy appears in letters such as Q and z, and the numerals show stylized curves (notably 2 and 3) that reinforce the ornamental, high-fashion character. The hairlines are extremely thin relative to the main strokes, so the design’s personality is most apparent at medium to large sizes where the contrast can breathe.
