A high-contrast italic serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered entry/exit strokes that evoke a pointed-pen rhythm. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with smooth, continuous curves and a clear diagonal stress across rounded forms. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous spacing and long, graceful ascenders/descenders; the overall texture is airy rather than dense. Uppercase forms are sleek and classical, while lowercase shows a flowing, calligraphic construction with compact joins and delicately finished terminals.
Best suited to display-led typography such as magazine titles, section heads, and pull quotes where the fine hairlines can breathe. It also fits premium packaging and formal communications that benefit from a stylish italic serif presence.
The tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than everyday utilitarian text. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italics suggest fashion, literature, and high-end branding, with a confident, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic italic text serif, emphasizing sharp contrast, graceful motion, and an elevated page color for sophisticated editorial and branding work.
Figures follow the same contrast-driven construction, with thin cross-strokes and sculpted curves that read best at larger sizes. The italic angle is assertive yet controlled, giving lines a lively forward motion without becoming flamboyant.
