A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The forms are sharply angled with a consistent rightward slant, narrow joins, and crisp, tapered serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than blunt. Counters are relatively compact and the overall rhythm is driven by long, sweeping curves, fine entry/exit strokes, and pointed details that give letters a sculpted, high-fashion finish.
This style is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and pull quotes where a graceful italic voice is desired. It can also complement premium branding materials and formal invitations, particularly when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a poetic, old-world sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and lively italic motion suggest luxury, ceremony, and editorial refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, calligraphy-informed serif italic with modern sharpness—prioritizing elegance, motion, and contrast for expressive typography in display and editorial contexts.
The numerals and uppercase show especially prominent hairlines and tapered terminals, creating sparkle at display sizes. In text, the strong contrast and tight apertures make it feel best in spacious settings where the fine strokes can breathe.
