A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress, crisp hairlines, and fuller curved joins. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are narrow and poised with sweeping entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows energetic ascenders and descenders and a slightly varied, organic texture across words. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with delicate curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep the overall color light and articulate.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed, especially for emphasis, quotes, and section openers. It also works effectively for refined display applications such as magazine features, literary titles, invitations, and other formal printed materials where high contrast and graceful motion are desirable.
The font projects a polished, literary tone—formal and cultivated without feeling stiff. Its steep italic angle and sparkling contrast add a sense of motion and drama, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing elegance, clarity of italic movement, and a bright, cultivated texture on the page.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs contribute to a bright page color, while the slant and tapered forms create distinctive word shapes. The rhythm is smooth and continuous, with occasional strong swashes in capitals and a generally refined, pen-influenced feel.
