A high-contrast serif italic with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant, with smooth curves and strong thick–thin modulation that becomes especially crisp in the joins and finials. Serifs are tapered and integrated into the strokes rather than blunt, producing a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and lively rhythm; some glyphs feel subtly more expansive while others are more compact, giving the text a gently variable, organic color.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and book-cover titling where an expressive italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and premium packaging when used at larger sizes, where the contrast and tapered details can remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, combining classical sophistication with a sense of motion. Its dramatic contrast and pointed terminals add a refined, upscale character that reads as editorial and fashion-forward rather than utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with classical serif structure and a contemporary, sharpened finish. The flared terminals and pronounced contrast suggest an intention to bridge calligraphic energy with editorial polish for expressive display and emphasis.
In text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a pronounced texture, with distinctive swash-like turns on letters such as the lowercase a and f and a crisp, energetic K and X. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and sharper terminals that suit display settings.
