A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and crisp, tapered stroke modulation. Stems and serifs show subtle flaring and bracketed transitions, producing sculpted terminals rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are smooth and slightly narrow in feel, with sharp apexes on forms like A, V, and W and lively diagonals throughout. Numerals and capitals read cleanly at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height and energetic entry/exit strokes typical of a drawn italic.
Best suited for editorial typography where the italic voice is meant to carry prominence—magazine features, pull quotes, headlines, and book-cover titling. It can also support refined branding and packaging that benefits from high-contrast, calligraphic detail, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, pairing sophistication with a sense of motion. It evokes classical book typography and fashion/editorial styling, with enough sharpness and contrast to feel dramatic and premium rather than casual.
Designed to deliver an expressive italic with classical serif cues, balancing readability with decorative stroke contrast and flared finishing. The intent appears to be a confident, display-leaning text companion that adds elegance and momentum without becoming overly ornate.
Italic forms are emphatic and consistent across the set, with clear differentiation between rounded and straight-sided letters and a strong baseline presence. The contrast and tapering details become most noticeable in smaller counters and at joins, giving the face a distinctly crafted, pen-influenced character.
