A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel cut rather than rounded. The slant is steady and moderately strong, with calligraphic modulation visible in diagonals and curves; stress reads as traditional and slightly oblique. Capitals are relatively narrow with crisp joins and pointed apexes, while lowercase forms show compact bowls and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same steep contrast and slanted rhythm, giving text a clean, glossy texture at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and elegant subheads. Its high contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for book covers, invitations, and premium branding, particularly in larger sizes where the tapered strokes and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with a refined, old-world elegance. Its brisk italic movement adds energy and sophistication without feeling ornamental, making it feel authoritative and editorial.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a distinctly italic, calligraphic gesture. The intention appears to balance classical proportions with a more animated, high-contrast stroke that delivers emphasis and polish in display and short-to-medium text settings.
The design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across cases, producing a rhythmic, forward-leaning line. Curves (notably in S, a, e, and g) are tightly drawn with sharp terminals, which can read especially crisp in larger settings.
