A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced forward slant and crisp hairlines against fuller stems. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with gentle bracketing, giving strokes a cut, sculpted finish. The lowercase shows a smooth, calligraphic rhythm with open counters and tapered joins, while capitals are stately and slightly narrow, emphasizing verticality and sweep. Figures share the same tension between thin entry strokes and fuller curves, keeping the set visually consistent in text.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It also works effectively for refined headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a cultured, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in literary and fashion contexts. Its lively italic movement adds a sense of motion and flourish without becoming overly ornate, projecting confidence and refinement.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that brings calligraphic energy and elegant contrast to reading settings. It aims to provide a distinctive yet disciplined italic companion for extended copy and editorial hierarchy.
Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for continuous reading, with a steady texture and clear differentiation between glyphs. The italic construction relies on tapered stroke endings and pointed terminals, producing a crisp sparkle at display sizes while remaining controlled in paragraphs.
