A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-like hairlines. Strokes show a calligraphic, pen-driven logic: tapered entries, pointed joins, and lively diagonals that create a crisp, forward-leaning rhythm. Serifs are delicate and finely finished, with sharp terminals and subtle bracketing where heavier stems meet. Proportions feel classical and text-oriented, with open counters and a slightly varied, organic spacing that keeps words flowing smoothly at display and paragraph sizes.
Well suited to fashion and culture magazines, literary or academic publishing, and elegant brand systems where a refined italic is needed for emphasis or identity. It can add high-end character to covers, headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery, and works effectively for longer passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial typography, couture branding, and formal print traditions. Its strong contrast and italic energy add drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental, giving text a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contemporary-leaning italic that balances traditional serif construction with striking contrast and a graceful, calligraphic cadence for premium editorial and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms read stately and sculpted, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved descenders and sweeping entry strokes. Numerals match the italic flow and contrast, helping headlines and pull quotes maintain a consistent, refined texture.
