A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, sharp hairline serifs, and a clear vertical-stress feel even in its slanted construction. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that keep counters clean and open. Proportions lean relatively narrow and tall, with a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that give the line a graceful, airy rhythm. Numerals and capitals show crisp, sculpted forms, while the lowercase maintains a flowing, calligraphic cadence without becoming overly ornate.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—subheads, pull quotes, intros, and titling. It can also serve refined branding and event materials such as fashion collateral, invitations, and premium packaging, especially where high contrast and graceful movement are desirable.
The overall tone is polished and formal, projecting a classic, literary sophistication associated with editorial typography. Its contrast and slant add drama and a sense of movement, making it feel poised, upscale, and a bit ceremonial. The look suggests restraint and refinement rather than friendliness or utility.
Designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated communication, balancing calligraphic energy with clean, controlled detailing. The intent appears to emphasize elegance and hierarchy—offering a distinctive italic presence that reads as premium and editorial.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, with delicate hairlines that create a bright texture and strong sparkle at display sizes. Spacing appears measured and even in the sample text, supporting a smooth reading rhythm while preserving the font’s sharp, fashionable edge.
