A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered joins and flared stroke endings that widen subtly before terminating. The forms lean with a steady angle and show lively, calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines, weighty verticals, and pointed, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed in their inner counters, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes stay crisp, giving the alphabet a quick, energetic rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, with elegant curves and delicate terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary packaging where an elegant italic voice is needed. It excels for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and refined branding applications such as invitations, wine/food labeling, or cultural institutions. In longer text it benefits from comfortable size and leading to preserve the crisp hairlines and bright rhythm.
The font reads as poised and cultivated, with a distinct old-world, bookish sophistication. Its italic motion and crisp hairlines add a sense of speed and grace, suggesting formality without feeling stiff. Overall it evokes classic publishing and fine print traditions.
Likely designed to deliver a polished, traditional italic with pronounced contrast and flared detailing, balancing calligraphic liveliness with typographic discipline. The goal appears to be an italic that can function both as a strong display voice and as a refined companion for editorial text.
The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with pronounced contrast that rewards generous sizing and good reproduction. The flared endings and sharp terminals create strong sparkle in text, while the narrow hairlines can appear delicate in very small settings or low-resolution output.
