A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, engraved feel. Strokes swing between razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals, with pointed, tapered terminals and delicately bracketed serifs. Many capitals feature gentle entry strokes and small swash-like curls, while the lowercase keeps a more restrained, book-italic structure with crisp joins and narrow apertures. The rhythm is lively and slightly variable, with pronounced diagonals and a forward slant that creates a flowing, energetic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits formal stationery, event materials, and branding that benefits from a refined, classic voice. For extended text, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes and with generous leading to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone reads formal and elevated, with a romantic, old-world sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and ornamental touches add a sense of ceremony, luxury, and literary tradition, making even short phrases feel styled and intentional.
The design appears intended to blend traditional italic book forms with decorative, calligraphic flourishes—especially in the capitals—creating a versatile display italic that can signal prestige while still functioning in short text settings.
At display sizes the fine hairlines and intricate curls become a defining feature, giving the face a sharp, glittering presence. In longer lines the contrast and narrow counters can create a denser color, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence readability and overall brightness.
