A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and sharp, wedge-like serifs that read as finely bracketed rather than blunt. Capitals are narrow and slightly calligraphic in construction, while the lowercase is more fluid with lively entry strokes, looping descenders, and occasional swash-like details that add movement. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with slender forms and elegant curves that keep the overall color light and sparkling on the page.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book-style typography, and refined headings where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve invitation suites, certificates, and pull quotes, especially at medium to larger sizes where the high contrast and delicate details reproduce clearly.
The font communicates a poised, old-world sophistication—more literary and ceremonial than utilitarian. Its sharp contrasts and cursive rhythm suggest formality and tradition, with a graceful, expressive tone suited to polished typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—combining traditional serif structure with expressive cursive details to achieve a luxurious, print-oriented feel.
In text settings the letterforms create a distinctly diagonal texture, with tight hairlines and tapered joins that emphasize delicacy. The more decorative lowercase forms (notably in letters with loops and long descenders) add personality and can become visually prominent at larger sizes.
