A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs. The forms lean with a lively, calligraphic rhythm, showing pointed terminals, narrow joins, and a generally streamlined silhouette. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with compact bowls and diagonally stressed ovals; spacing feels open enough to keep the light strokes from crowding. Numerals follow the same refined, italicized construction, maintaining a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultured branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or sophistication. It performs especially well in display and larger text sizes for pull quotes, titles, and refined collateral like invitations or programs, where its fine details can remain visible.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its brisk slant and crisp hairlines suggest formality and polish rather than ruggedness, giving it a poised, cultured voice that reads as classic and premium.
Likely designed to provide a classic italic companion with strong calligraphic influence and a clean, modern finish. The intent appears focused on delivering an elegant, high-contrast texture that adds emphasis and prestige without becoming overly ornamental.
Uppercase forms present clean, traditional proportions with subtle flourish in diagonals and terminals, while lowercase shows a more cursive flow and pronounced entry/exit strokes. The punctuation and shapes in the sample text emphasize clarity at display sizes, with a bright, refined typographic color.
