A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, narrow joins, and tapered terminals, with crisp bracketed serifs and fine, needle-like horizontals. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is energetic, with noticeable calligraphic shaping in curves and diagonals that creates a lively, slightly theatrical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book typography, and brand applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It will shine in larger sizes for titles and short text runs, and can work for refined editorial emphasis when paired with a calmer roman companion.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, pairing classical refinement with a fashion-forward sense of drama. Its bright hairlines and sweeping italics feel premium and editorial, evoking luxury branding, cultured publishing, and formal occasions.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for polished typography—balancing traditional serif construction with expressive, calligraphic motion for standout editorial and branding use.
In the grid, numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, producing strong sparkle at larger sizes while remaining delicate in fine details. The italic emphasis is prominent enough that long passages read as stylized and decorative rather than neutral, especially where thin strokes cluster in tight spacing.
