A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, tapered stroke structure and fine hairline serifs. Letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with diagonal stress in rounded shapes and sharp, clean terminals. Proportions feel moderately open with generous counters, and the italics display fluid entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively while remaining controlled and consistent. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined contrast, producing a polished, formal color on the page.
Well suited for editorial pull quotes, magazine features, and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or narrative tone. It also fits premium branding and formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and packaging where a refined, classical impression is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, classic sensibility suited to sophisticated typography. Its combination of delicate hairlines and confident thick strokes conveys refinement and a slightly dramatic, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing calligraphic elegance and high-contrast refinement. It aims to provide a distinctive, elevated voice for emphasis in text and polished display settings.
The italic construction is expressive without becoming decorative, balancing smooth curves with precise joins and pointed details. In continuous text, the slanted forms create a graceful forward motion and a bright, high-end texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and ample spacing.
