A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and lively, calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show crisp hairlines against weighty main strokes, with tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that sharpen into wedge-like points. Curves are smooth and continuous, counters are relatively open, and the overall set leans wide with generous sidebearings, giving the text a airy rhythm. Figures are similarly slanted and sculpted, with thin entry/exit strokes and strong thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and cultured branding where elegance and motion are desired. It can also work for book jackets and display-forward packaging, particularly in short passages where its fine hairlines and strong contrast can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and expressive, combining a classic bookish sensibility with a distinctly fashionable, editorial flair. Its pronounced italic movement and razor-thin details create a sense of drama and sophistication while still reading as a traditional serif voice.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic serif foundation infused with energetic italic calligraphy and high-contrast refinement, aiming for premium, attention-grabbing typography without abandoning conventional text-serif proportions.
The italic construction is emphatic rather than subtle, with long, sweeping joins and angled stress that become especially noticeable in round letters and in the numerals. Hairline features are extremely delicate, so the design reads most confidently when given enough size and printing/screen conditions that preserve fine detail.
