A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition quickly from hairline to thick, with delicate entry/exit strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs that stay light and sharp rather than blocky. The proportions are relatively compact, with tight, controlled curves and a consistent, rhythmic flow across the alphabet; counters remain open and clean despite the thin hairlines. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted posture, visually harmonizing with the letters in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book covers where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for fashion and luxury-oriented branding, pull quotes, and refined invitations or announcements, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and a traditional, bookish elegance. Its calligraphic energy reads as confident and expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a poised, upscale feel.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with elevated contrast and a graceful, calligraphic cadence, delivering a distinctly refined tone for sophisticated reading and headline settings.
In the sample text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a lively line rhythm, with particularly fine hairlines on diagonals and joins that emphasize a refined, engraved-like finish. The design relies on thin details for much of its sparkle, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered serifs can be appreciated.
