A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that create sharp terminals and a lively baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and slightly swashed in feel, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, a single-story italic “a,” and long, gently curved ascenders and descenders. Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairlines for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book content where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined running text. It also works effectively for formal materials—programs, invitations, and premium brand applications—where high-contrast italics can signal craft and sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and editorial sophistication. Its slanted, pen-like motion adds a touch of dynamism and formality, making text feel cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with strong calligraphic cues, balancing readability with a distinctly refined, expressive slant. Its consistent contrast and delicate finishing suggest an aim toward classic, print-oriented typography that can add graceful emphasis within longer compositions.
In continuous text the color stays airy, with hairlines and tight curves giving the face a refined sparkle. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, supporting a smooth, forward-leaning rhythm that reads like a dedicated italic rather than an oblique treatment.
