A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapering serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that follows a calligraphic axis. Forms are wide and generously proportioned, with smooth, swelling curves, crisp terminals, and bracketed joins that keep strokes feeling continuous rather than mechanical. Capitals are stately and slightly flamboyant in their curves (notably in rounded letters), while the lowercase shows a traditional italic rhythm with a single-storey a and g, a descending f, and lively entry/exit strokes that create a steady forward motion. Numerals match the italic temperament, combining sturdy main strokes with fine hairlines and delicate finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine features, and book titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve in branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classical feel, and in formal materials such as invitations or certificates when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition, sophistication, and controlled drama. Its strong contrast and angled movement give it a fashion/editorial energy, while the serif detailing keeps it firmly rooted in classic book typography.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif with heightened contrast and a wide, confident stance, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm. The goal appears to be an attention-grabbing yet traditional voice that reads as luxurious and editorial rather than utilitarian.
Spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, with the contrast and hairlines becoming a defining feature at larger sizes. The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive slanted texture with a distinctly formal cadence.
