This is a high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and crisp hairline finishing strokes. Stems swell into thick mains and taper quickly into fine joins, creating a lively rhythm and pronounced diagonal energy. Serifs are delicate and sharp, often expressed as thin wedges and flicked terminals rather than heavy brackets, and many curves finish with subtly pointed beaks. Proportions feel classical and text-oriented, with moderate extenders and a slightly varied, organic width across letters that enhances movement in words.
It suits editorial settings where a refined italic voice is needed—magazine features, book typography for emphasis, and pull quotes. The dramatic contrast and delicate detailing also make it a strong choice for invitations, luxury branding accents, and titling at larger sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair. It reads as cultured and high-end, evoking fashion spreads, literary publishing, and formal correspondence rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, formal italic with pronounced contrast and graceful, calligraphy-informed motion, offering an expressive companion for sophisticated text and display typography.
In sample text, the italic slant and strong thick–thin modulation create a smooth, continuous texture, especially in sequences of rounded letters and the long, sweeping descenders. The numerals follow the same contrast and elegance, with slender diagonals and fine finishing strokes that feel consistent with the letterforms.
