A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, right-leaning rhythm and tapered, wedge-like serifs. Strokes shift quickly from hairline thins to firm verticals, with pointed terminals and crisp entry/exit strokes that echo a calligraphic pen. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with sharp apexes and clean, slightly flared feet, while the lowercase shows energetic cursive construction, compact counters, and flowing joins that keep the texture light and quick on the line. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and fine hairline details.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a graceful italic voice is needed, such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts. It can also shine in pull quotes, headlines with an elegant slant, and formal materials like invitations and event programs, especially at sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, projecting a classic editorial elegance with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward sparkle. Its brisk italic motion feels expressive without becoming informal, suggesting sophistication, tradition, and polish.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, offering a polished, expressive companion for sophisticated reading and display applications.
The design maintains consistent contrast and slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, continuous texture in paragraphs. Hairlines are notably delicate, and pointed terminals and wedge serifs give the shapes a precise, engraved feel at larger sizes.
