A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, right-leaning axis and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes move from hairline thins to dense verticals, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and pointed entry/exit strokes that give forms a lively, drawn feel. Counters are relatively open, curves are smooth and controlled, and spacing feels measured, producing a polished rhythm that stays clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with strong thick–thin modulation and compact, refined silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for elegant branding, invitations, and book-cover typography, especially in larger sizes or well-printed contexts that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, projecting a classic editorial elegance associated with luxury, literature, and high-end print. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a touch of theatricality without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, aiming for an upscale, print-forward character that feels both traditional and energetic.
The face mixes confident, weighty verticals with delicate hairlines, creating striking light–dark patterning in words. Italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting expressive emphasis and headline use where contrast and motion are desired.
