A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic construction with tapered joins and lively curves, producing a flowing rhythm across words. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and terminals often finish in angled, slightly flared cuts. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately sized counters and a text-ready lowercase that maintains clarity while preserving an expressive slant.
Best suited to display sizes where its contrast, hairline details, and italic energy can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, book or article titling, posters, and premium packaging. It can work for short text passages in refined editorial layouts when given adequate size and line spacing to protect the fine serifs.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial polish and a distinctly classical voice. Its energetic italic movement and sharp detailing give it a confident, high-end presence suited to sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic italic serif, prioritizing expressive motion, sharp finesse, and a polished editorial character for high-impact typography.
Uppercase forms read stately and sculptural, while the lowercase adds more movement and personality through sweeping curves and tapered strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-leaning elegance, with distinctive shapes that emphasize refinement over utilitarian neutrality.
