A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are small and bracketed, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and slightly cupped finishes that reinforce a calligraphic, pen-driven construction. The forms are gently condensed with a steady rightward slant, smooth curves, and crisp joins; counters stay open and the rhythm is lively but controlled. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curving strokes and prominent terminal treatments for a cohesive text-and-display feel.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with a classic serif texture. It also fits formal applications like invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging, particularly for headings, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial voices. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing classical proportions with expressive terminals to deliver a refined emphasis style for high-quality typography.
Round letters show a subtly oblique stress, and many lowercase forms carry expressive entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, flowing texture in words. At larger sizes the contrast and terminals read as elegant detail; at smaller sizes the fine hairlines and tight joins may require careful use to maintain clarity, especially on low-resolution outputs.
