A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms lean decisively with tapered terminals and delicate hairlines, supported by sturdy main strokes that create a crisp, editorial texture. Serifs are bracketed and sharpened, with frequent teardrop or wedge-like finishing on strokes, giving capitals a poised, slightly swashy presence without becoming decorative script. Lowercase forms show flowing joins and extended ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance while maintaining a readable, text-oriented structure.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book text or chapter openings, and pull quotes where an elegant italic is desired. It also fits formal stationery, invitations, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting sophistication and tradition. Its brisk italic angle and sharp finishing details add energy and a sense of ceremony, making it feel suited to cultured, premium contexts rather than casual UI or utilitarian signage.
Designed to provide a conventional serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge: fast, graceful strokes, clear serif structure, and a refined contrast profile. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive movement, functioning as a true italic companion for text while still offering display-worthy elegance.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a bright, shimmering color that rewards generous size and comfortable leading. The italic numerals and the curved, expressive caps contribute to a distinctly classical flavor that reads as editorial and bookish.
