A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that create a sharp, chiseled feel. Curves show pronounced diagonal stress and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entry and exit strokes that keep counters open and shapes lively. Capitals are sculpted and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and a consistent rightward slant, producing a smooth, continuous texture in text. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic energy, with thin hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems and curves.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and section openers where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and refined branding that benefits from high-contrast elegance and a classical italic texture.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an expressive, old-world elegance that reads as editorial and cultured rather than casual. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a touch of drama, making the voice feel confident, formal, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, calligraphic italic with crisp, flared serif detailing and strong contrast, balancing readability with expressive stroke modulation. It aims to provide a distinctive editorial flavor that feels traditional yet precise.
In running text the pronounced contrast and pointed details create a shimmering rhythm, especially at larger sizes. The italic construction is assertive, with clearly angled joins and terminals that emphasize motion and sophistication.
