A high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant, crisp hairlines, and sturdy main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, giving a clean, engraved feel rather than a soft, brushy texture. Curves are tightly drawn with tapered terminals, and the rhythm is driven by pointed joins and swelling stems that create a lively, shimmering line of text. The forms show moderate proportions with clear counters and a slightly compact, disciplined footprint typical of text-oriented italics.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or headings, and it can carry elegant pull quotes at larger sizes. The sharp contrast and refined detail also make it a strong choice for formal invitations, premium branding, and packaging where a classic, polished tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an old-world polish that reads as formal and cultivated. Its italic energy feels poised rather than flamboyant, suggesting sophistication and quiet drama more than casual warmth.
The design appears intended as a traditional, text-friendly italic with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing calligraphic motion with conventional serif structure. It aims to provide a distinguished italic texture that complements classic reading typography while remaining expressive enough for display moments.
Uppercase letters appear relatively upright in construction but strongly slanted, with prominent contrast and carefully controlled curves (notably in rounded letters like O and Q). Lowercase details such as single-storey shapes and teardrop-like terminals reinforce a calligraphic influence while maintaining typographic restraint. Numerals match the italic angle and contrast, helping figures feel integrated in running text.
