A high-contrast italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and finely tapered terminals. The letters show a rightward slant with calligraphic stress, sharp hairlines, and thicker shaded strokes that create a lively, glossy texture. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, with wedge-like entry strokes and crisp, angled terminals. Proportions feel moderately narrow with rhythmic alternation between broad curves and thin joins; numerals follow the same italic, old-style-leaning flow with pronounced stroke contrast.
Well suited for editorial settings where an expressive italic is needed—magazine features, book titling, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work for short passages and emphasis in longer texts when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and traditional print refinement. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony without feeling ornamental or overly decorative.
This design appears intended as a classic, print-oriented italic serif that balances traditional formality with a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The emphasis is on elegance and contrast, aiming to deliver a sophisticated voice for editorial and literary typography.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp details create a bright, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The italic forms are expressive, with notably curved joins and tapered strokes that emphasize motion and elegance.
