A high-contrast italic serif with long, tapering hairlines and crisp, pointed serifs. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with slender joins and a pronounced rightward slant that gives the forms a continuous forward motion. Capitals are narrow and sculptural with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows flowing, calligraphic construction—especially in letters like a, e, f, and y—where exit strokes extend into thin, graceful tails. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and italic rhythm, with delicate entry strokes and fine finishing details.
Works especially well for editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and refined event materials where an italic voice is desired. It is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and short passages of emphasis, and can also serve as a companion italic in classic serif typographic systems when used with appropriate size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual readability. It evokes classic book and magazine italics, with a distinctly formal, expressive cadence suited to tasteful emphasis and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with dramatic contrast and graceful movement, prioritizing elegance and expressive emphasis. Its sharp terminals and flowing cursive cues suggest a focus on premium editorial and brand applications where tone and style are as important as neutral text color.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into needle-like points, and several letters feature extended swashes or descenders that add flourish without becoming overly ornate. Spacing appears relatively open for an italic of this contrast level, helping the texture stay airy in continuous text while still reading as distinctly decorative.
