A high-contrast italic with slender hairlines and sharper, more tapered joins that give it a crisp, drawn quality. The stroke rhythm follows a consistent rightward slant, with smooth, open bowls and restrained terminals that stay clean rather than decorative. Capitals are narrow and formal with long diagonals and controlled curves, while the lowercase shows a more fluid, text-oriented construction with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the same refined contrast and angled stress, reading as lean and stylish in running text.
Well-suited to magazine and book settings where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined subheads. It can also support upscale branding and event materials where a graceful, premium tone is desired, and works nicely for short to medium text when paired with a sturdier companion face.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and a quiet sense of luxury. Its italic movement adds energy without feeling casual, suggesting an editorial, fashion, or cultural context rather than a utilitarian one.
Likely intended as a sophisticated italic with strong contrast and a smooth, calligraphic flow, providing an expressive voice for editorial typography and brand-led display use while remaining composed in continuous reading.
The design relies on spacing and contrast for its character more than overt ornament, which helps it maintain clarity in paragraphs while still feeling expressive. Round letters keep a slightly calligraphic stress, and the diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) contribute to a sharp, modern snap in headlines.
