A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, sharply cut serifs and smooth, calligraphic curves. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and tapered terminals that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals are relatively wide and steady, while lowercase forms feel more fluid and slightly compact in their counters, producing a clear italic texture. Numerals match the style with strong contrast and rounded, somewhat oldstyle-like shaping in several figures, contributing to an elegant, text-oriented color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for refined branding and formal materials (programs, invitations, headings) where high-contrast serif detail adds sophistication.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its energetic italic slant and sharp detailing suggest sophistication and tradition rather than casualness, making it feel suitable for classic, cultured messaging.
This design appears intended to provide a classic, expressive italic companion for text and display, emphasizing traditional serif detailing and calligraphic movement while maintaining a controlled, readable rhythm.
The italic construction reads continuous and consistent across the set, with particularly pronounced entry/exit strokes and curved terminals that keep word shapes animated. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp serifs become a key part of the personality, while at smaller sizes the contrast will read as a delicate, polished texture.
