This serif italic features a pronounced, steep slant and crisp, high-contrast modulation between thick stems and hairline joins. Serifs are sharp and tapered, with wedge-like terminals and finely pointed details that create a brisk, polished rhythm. The letterforms are compact and vertically emphasized, with narrow proportions and tight internal spaces that heighten the sense of speed and precision. Curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals and joins show a distinctly calligraphic influence, especially in the lowercase where entry/exit strokes feel brisk and formal.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headings, subheads, standfirsts, and pull quotes where an assertive italic voice is desired. It can also support luxury branding and packaging when used at display sizes, and for emphasis within more traditional serif text palettes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, with a fashion-editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic posture convey authority and urgency while still feeling refined and cultured. The impression is classic rather than quirky, lending a premium, literary voice to short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic with heightened elegance and speed, pairing traditional serif construction with a sharper, more fashion-forward contrast and a compact, vertical stance. It prioritizes a clean, premium silhouette and strong typographic presence, especially in display and editorial contexts.
Uppercase shapes read stately and compact, while the lowercase maintains a lively cadence through angled stress and narrow counters. Figures follow the same contrast and italic movement, aligning visually with the text for cohesive typographic color.
