A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and swelling main strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed terminals and teardrop-like finishing on some lowercase forms. Proportions lean slightly narrow, with generous ascenders and descenders that give lines an airy vertical sweep. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and the figures follow the same elegant contrast and slanted construction, with oldstyle-like movement in curves and diagonals.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can work for short passages in high-quality print contexts, and shines in branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, classical impression—especially at moderate to large sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting classic bookish refinement with a touch of fashion-editorial flair. Its crisp hairlines and graceful slant feel ceremonial and premium rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of sophistication and poise.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif experience with dramatic contrast and a distinctly calligraphic cadence, balancing traditional letterform structure with expressive stroke finishing for elevated, display-forward typography.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a sparkling texture, while the more delicate joins and hairlines make spacing and line length feel important for best results. The italic construction reads as deliberately expressive, with noticeable stroke entry/exit gestures that add personality in display sizes.
