A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, fuller curved strokes, and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine points rather than heavy slabs. Curves are smooth and slightly taut, counters are moderately open, and joins tend to be delicate, giving the texture a bright, airy color in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant diagonals and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, captions, or pull quotes. It also fits refined branding moments—logos, fashion or cultural collateral, invitations, and packaging—where elegance and movement are priorities over dense small-size readability.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its sharp hairlines and poised italics suggest a sense of luxury and formality, with a distinctly literary, old-world charm.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classical italic serif: maximizing contrast and tapered detailing to deliver a graceful, high-end texture, while keeping proportions familiar enough for extended editorial use.
The italic construction is pronounced, with narrow, sweeping diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) and pointed, flicked terminals that add sparkle at larger sizes. In text settings the contrast creates a rhythmic shimmer, while the finer strokes may call for supportive printing or display sizes depending on production conditions.
