A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with a distinctly calligraphic entry/exit that creates crisp terminals and a lively forward motion. Letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters, a moderate slant, and rhythmic stroke modulation that reads cleanly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with curled details on figures like 2 and 3 and a sturdy, rounded 0.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial or brand-driven typography where contrast and italic movement are assets. It can also support short passages at comfortable sizes, especially in contexts that benefit from a refined, classical texture.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, pairing classic bookish refinement with a more dramatic, fashion-forward energy. The pronounced contrast and italic cadence give it a confident, slightly theatrical voice suited to premium, crafted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic text tradition: elegant proportions, energetic stroke modulation, and crisp detailing that elevate titles and editorial layouts while remaining recognizably conventional.
The set shows consistent stress and tapering across rounds and diagonals, with a noticeable interplay between sharp, pointed details and broader curves. Ascenders are prominent and the lowercase includes distinctive italic forms (notably the single-storey a) that reinforce a traditional, calligraphy-derived texture.
