This is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, engraved-like finish. Strokes taper into fine terminals and bracketed serifs, with delicate hairlines and fuller shaded stems creating a lively diagonal rhythm. The capitals are compact and slightly condensed, with pointed joins and sharp apexes on forms like A, V, W, and Y. Lowercase shapes feel calligraphy-informed—single-storey a and g, a narrow, curved f, and a looping, descending y—while counters stay relatively tight and the overall texture remains clean and controlled in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors with italic emphasis, and literary or cultural branding. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and other applications where a refined, classic italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking editorial sophistication and a quietly dramatic, old-world elegance. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds a sense of motion and ceremony, making it feel more refined than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic slant and high-contrast sparkle, balancing traditional letterform structure with a graceful, energetic rhythm for elegant reading and display moments.
Numerals follow the same italic cadence with clear contrast and tapered finishing, giving them a stylish, display-friendly presence. In the sample text, the strong diagonal flow and tight proportions create a sleek line of text that reads best with comfortable spacing and moderate sizes rather than dense, small settings.
