A sharply inclined serif italic with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Stems and curves show a calligraphic stress, with tapered entry/exit strokes and fine, bracketed serifs that often resolve to needle-like points. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, with flowing diagonals in letters like N, V, W, and X, while the lowercase features compact bowls and long, lively extenders (notably in f, j, y). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate terminals for a light-on-its-feet rhythm.
Well suited to magazines, culture and lifestyle editorial, and other display-forward typography where high contrast and italic energy are desirable. It can also support premium branding applications such as beauty, fashion, hospitality, and event materials, and works effectively for book jackets or section heads where a refined, literary voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, pairing classical bookish manners with a distinctly contemporary, fashion-editorial sheen. Its pronounced contrast and slanted momentum give text a sense of speed and sophistication, reading as confident and formal rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a classic italic reading of traditional serif forms while emphasizing dramatic contrast and sleek, modern sharpness. The intention appears to be a graceful, attention-getting text and display companion that communicates elegance and authority through rhythm, tapering, and fine serif work.
In paragraph settings the strong diagonal emphasis and tight internal counters create a dynamic texture, especially in mixed-case lines. The fine hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature at display sizes, where the cutting details and elegant curves are most visible.
