A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as softly bracketed serifs rather than hard slabs. The letterforms feel open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and a smooth, continuous diagonal stress throughout. Curves are clean and controlled, while diagonals and terminals show a subtle calligraphic snap, giving the outlines a lively, drawn quality despite the otherwise restrained construction. Numerals and capitals share the same graceful slant and contrast, producing a cohesive, editorial texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and slanted forms add drama and hierarchy. It can also support refined branding—especially for lifestyle, beauty, and hospitality—plus invitation or event materials that benefit from an elegant, calligraphic impression. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable with adequate size and leading to preserve the airy texture.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking traditional book typography and upscale editorial design. Its fluid slant and delicate finishing details add a sense of sophistication and movement, leaning toward romantic and fashion-oriented styling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to deliver an elegant italic voice with classical serif structure, combining high-contrast modeling and flared endings to create a distinctive, premium texture. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive motion for editorial and brand-forward typography.
The rhythm is intentionally dynamic: thin hairlines and sharp joins create sparkle at display sizes, while the open counters help keep the texture from feeling dense. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the flared endings provide a distinctive signature without becoming ornamental.
