A high-contrast italic serif with hairline serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic, right-leaning construction with strong thick–thin modulation and smooth entry/exit strokes that create a flowing baseline rhythm. Capitals are wide and sculpted with crisp, wedge-like finishing, while lowercase forms are compact and energetic, with narrow joins and pointed shoulders. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, featuring delicate hairlines and elegantly curved diagonals.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, and brand identities that benefit from a refined italic voice. It can also work for packaging, invitations, and pull quotes where elegant motion and contrast are desirable, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a polished editorial sensibility. Its sweeping italic movement and razor-thin details evoke classic sophistication suited to high-end, cultured contexts rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for display and editorial typography, emphasizing graceful movement, crisp finishing, and classical proportioning to deliver a premium, cultured impression.
Spacing appears intentionally airy in display settings, letting thin strokes and serifs breathe. The design relies on fine detail—especially in cross-strokes and terminals—so it reads most confidently when given sufficient size and clean reproduction.
