This typeface is a slanted serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, tapered terminals that flare subtly at the ends of strokes. Letterforms are built from very thin hairlines paired with sturdier main strokes, creating a crisp, bright page color and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are minimal and blade-like rather than bracketed, with many strokes finishing in pointed beaks and teardrop-like taps. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and the overall proportioning favors tall, streamlined forms with compact counters and a disciplined baseline flow.
It suits editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and display typography where elegance and contrast are assets. It can also work well for refined branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially in larger sizes where the thin hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking classic book typography and high-end magazine styling. Its energetic slant and knife-edged detailing add a sense of sophistication and momentum, leaning toward a modern-luxury feel rather than rustic or casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic with classical roots, emphasizing a sleek silhouette, strong contrast, and flared finishing strokes. It aims to provide expressive, upscale typography for headlines and refined text applications where sophistication is the primary goal.
The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity and a lively italic cadence, with particularly delicate joins and very fine connecting hairlines. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin horizontals and elegant diagonals that match the text’s calligraphic stress.
