A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline serifs and clearly bracketed joins. The design shows a pronounced diagonal stress, narrow entry/exit strokes, and sharply tapered terminals that give letters a sleek, fast rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with smooth curves and fine finishing, while the lowercase maintains steady spacing and a moderate x-height, producing an even texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with graceful curves and delicate thin strokes that reinforce the overall refinement.
Well suited for editorial and book contexts where an italic with clear hierarchy and a refined texture is needed, such as introductions, quotes, captions, and emphasis within serif body text. It also performs convincingly in upscale branding and printed collateral—particularly at display sizes where the contrast and tapered details can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and cultured print design. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as elegant rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable italic that balances traditional serif construction with a lively, calligraphic slant. Its careful contrast and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic hierarchy in continuous reading environments.
In larger sizes the thin horizontals and hairlines read especially sharp, giving headings and pull quotes a luxurious sparkle. The italic angle is assertive but controlled, keeping long lines of text smooth and continuous without feeling overly decorative.
