A cursive-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The letters are broadly proportioned with open counters and a sweeping rhythm, while hairline joins and tapered terminals add a refined, calligraphic edge. Curves are taut and glossy, and the overall texture reads clean but animated, with noticeable forward motion across lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling in editorial layouts where an expressive italic is desired. It also fits branding applications such as luxury packaging, beauty and fashion identities, event materials, and logotypes that benefit from a sleek, high-contrast serif tone. For longer text, it works best as an accent style paired with a steadier companion roman.
This typeface projects a polished, editorial elegance with a distinctly fashionable, high-style tone. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing strokes give it a confident, somewhat dramatic voice that feels premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end, magazine-like italic voice that brings emphasis and sophistication to short passages. Its strong contrast and sharp details suggest it is intended to look striking at larger sizes while maintaining a refined, traditional serif foundation.
Uppercase forms feel especially sculpted and cinematic, while the lowercase shows a more cursive construction with flowing entry/exit strokes and brisk terminals. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, giving figures a stylish, display-friendly presence.
