A high-contrast italic serif with a slim overall footprint and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm across words. Capitals are narrow and upright-leaning with sharp apexes and tapered terminals, while the lowercase is compact with slightly closed apertures and energetic entry/exit strokes. The figures follow the same sharp, refined construction, with narrow proportions and clear contrast-driven structure.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or running prose. It also suits refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs where high contrast and sharp serif detailing can read as premium.
The tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and sophistication. Its pronounced italic motion and sharp detailing feel expressive without becoming decorative, giving text an editorial, cultured voice suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes elegance and rhythm: narrow proportions, strong contrast, and a clear calligraphic slant to deliver a classic, editorial character while remaining suitable for continuous reading.
The letterforms rely on tight spacing and crisp joins, so the texture reads dark and elegant in continuous text. Curves and diagonals are emphasized, and the italic slope is consistent, helping lines of copy maintain a smooth, forward-leaning flow.
