A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp hairlines against weighty main strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like terminals, while curves show teardrop-like joins and occasional ball terminals that add a crafted, pen-led feel. Capitals are broad and sculptural with confident diagonal stress and a few subtly swashy gestures; lowercase forms are lively and slightly asymmetric, with narrow entrances/exits and energetic curves. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, creating a dense, rhythmic texture that reads as assertive rather than airy.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work effectively for magazine and book typography as a display italic, particularly for literary, fashion, or cultural editorial layouts. The strong contrast and energetic slant also make it a good choice for refined branding accents and premium packaging text used sparingly.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a dramatic, print-tradition voice. It conveys confidence and formality while retaining a human, handwritten energy typical of calligraphic italics. The contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of sophistication suited to premium or literary contexts.
Designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic with expressive calligraphic detailing for emphatic, refined typography. The shapes prioritize elegance and movement over neutrality, aiming to add hierarchy and personality in editorial and display settings.
Figures appear oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with angled stress and varied widths that match the italic rhythm; punctuation and ampersand carry the same sharp, high-contrast treatment. The font’s strong internal movement and compact color make it especially striking at display sizes, where the hairlines and terminals remain a defining feature.
