A high-contrast serif italic with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with stems that subtly flare into tapered terminals, giving the outlines a carved, formal finish. The italic slant is consistent and smooth, with narrow joins and clean curves that keep counters open despite the delicate hairlines. Proportions feel moderately condensed in many capitals while lowercase forms maintain a steady text rhythm, aided by clear ascenders and modest, unobtrusive descenders.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as book typography, magazines, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitation work that benefits from high-contrast sophistication. For best results, it will shine in headlines, subheads, and larger text sizes where its fine detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and refinement. Its italic movement adds a graceful, expressive quality that reads as cultured and editorial rather than casual or rustic. The sharp detailing and elegant contrast also lend it a fashion-forward, premium feel.
Designed to provide a graceful italic serif with strong contrast and a distinctly flared finishing language, balancing readability with a premium, expressive surface. The emphasis appears to be on conveying classic authority while adding an italic cadence suitable for emphasis, titles, and polished editorial layouts.
In running text the stroke contrast and fine terminals create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can fully resolve. Numerals follow the same italic energy with elegant curves and tapered ends, matching the text color and maintaining a cohesive, formal texture.
