A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads clearly at display sizes. The letterforms are relatively wide with open counters and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, while strokes terminate in crisp points and delicate hairlines. Curves feel controlled and slightly dramatic, and the overall texture is airy—more refined than dense—thanks to the combination of width, spacing, and thin connecting strokes.
Well suited for magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and sophisticated advertising where an elegant italic is needed. It also fits fashion, beauty, hospitality, and cultural branding, as well as invitations or packaging that benefits from a refined, high-contrast look. For best results, it will generally shine in display and short-to-medium text settings where fine hairlines remain intact.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial elegance with a distinctly formal tone. The slanted posture and crisp contrast create a sense of motion and sophistication, evoking classic publishing and refined branding. Overall it feels polished, expressive, and confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated italic voice for typography that needs emphasis with style—balancing classic serif structure with a more expressive, calligraphic slant. Its strong contrast and sharp terminals suggest it was drawn to look particularly striking in larger sizes, where the hairlines and sculpted curves can be appreciated.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, with a lively baseline rhythm and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same contrast and slant, helping mixed text and figure settings feel cohesive.
