A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving joins a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow apertures and tapered terminals that create a lively, slightly dramatic rhythm. Capitals feel formal and sculpted, while the lowercase keeps a controlled, text-oriented cadence with compact counters and carefully balanced spacing; figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors with expressive emphasis, and sophisticated headlines or decks. It can also serve branding and invitations where a classic, high-end tone is desired, especially at display sizes where the hairlines and tapered serifs can breathe.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and classical taste. Its energetic slant and razor-fine strokes add a sense of speed and glamour, while the traditional serif structure keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement while maintaining a conventional text-serif foundation for readable, composed settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine serifs create a shimmering texture at larger sizes, with emphasis on diagonal stress and elegant stroke endings. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, supporting a cohesive, flowing line shape in setting.
