A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition from hairline thins to firm verticals, with fine, bracketed serifs and wedge-like finishing strokes that sharpen the silhouette. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with moderately open counters and a steady, text-oriented rhythm; capitals feel stately while the lowercase shows fluid joins and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic stress, mixing delicate hairlines with strong main strokes for a polished, print-like texture.
Well-suited for editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—book italics, magazine text, and pull quotes—especially at comfortable reading sizes where the contrast can breathe. It can also serve refined display roles such as invitations, cultural branding, and elegant packaging, where its sharp serifs and slanted cadence add sophistication.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its sharp italics and refined contrast give it a poised, expressive voice suited to emphasis and elegant presentation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast texture. Its consistent slant, crisp serifs, and calligraphic modulation suggest an emphasis on refined emphasis in running text as well as polished, formal display.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with lively diagonals in letters like K, N, V, and W and long, sweeping curves in C, G, and S. Lowercase forms lean toward a calligraphic feel (notably in a, f, g, and y), while punctuation-like terminals and thin cross strokes add sparkle at larger sizes.
