A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The curves are smooth and taut, with hairline entry/exit strokes and crisp terminals that give the outlines a clean, chiseled finish. Letterforms are generously set with open counters and flowing joins in the lowercase, while capitals maintain a formal, sculpted presence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic rhythm, using thin, sweeping strokes and occasional flourished details that emphasize motion.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, editorial headlines, magazine display typography, and elegant packaging. It also fits book covers, pull quotes, and formal invitations where a refined italic voice and high-contrast detail can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing classic refinement with a subtle sense of drama. Its calligraphic slant and crisp hairlines suggest luxury and editorial sophistication, while the lively rhythm keeps it from feeling rigid or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with strong calligraphic energy—prioritizing elegance, motion, and striking contrast for display and headline settings rather than utilitarian text work.
The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with distinctive curved strokes and occasional swash-like gestures (notably in letters such as Q and g) that add character. Hairlines are extremely delicate relative to the main stems, so the design reads most confidently when given enough size and contrast.
