A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and noticeably thicker main strokes, producing a crisp, bright page color. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals and a pronounced rightward slant that creates a continuous, forward rhythm. Curves are taut and clean, and many joins show a subtle calligraphic logic, especially in the lowercase where entry/exit strokes feel drawn rather than constructed. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with compact counters and a consistent italic stress across letters and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or quotations. It also fits premium applications—invitation suites, cultural programs, and upscale packaging—where a refined, classical impression and graceful motion are desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics read as formal and expressive, evoking classic book typography and traditional print refinement rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
Designed to deliver a traditional italic with strong contrast and a calligraphic cadence, balancing expressive movement with conventional text-serif discipline. The consistent slant, tight detailing, and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to provide an elegant companion style for sophisticated reading and display emphasis.
The lowercase shows lively, cursive-like movement without becoming script, keeping letterforms separate and readable. Numerals and capitals maintain the same polished contrast and slant, giving mixed-case settings a cohesive, authoritative feel.
