A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and a pronounced diagonal slant. Serifs are crisp and generally bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that emphasize a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Curves show strong thick-to-thin modulation and a lively rhythm, while counters stay relatively open for an elegant, airy texture. Uppercase forms are slightly compact and formal, and the lowercase shows flowing joins and angled stress that reads smoothly in words.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and elegant pull quotes where contrast and italic energy are desirable. It can also work for short passages or introductions when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes to preserve clarity and avoid contrast-driven glare.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking traditional book typography and fashion-led editorial styling. Its strong contrast and energetic slant give it a sense of motion and sophistication, lending a premium, expressive voice without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic edge. The intent appears to balance traditional readability cues (open counters, disciplined serif structure) with a more expressive, high-fashion rhythm for prominent text.
In the sample text, the steep contrast creates bright horizontal “sparkle,” and the italic angle increases emphasis and forward momentum. Numerals appear similarly styled, with curved figures and sharp entry/exit strokes that match the letterforms’ calligraphic modulation.
