A slanted serif text face with crisp, finely tapered strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than rounded. Curves show a clear diagonal stress, and joins resolve into sharp terminals, giving the outlines a clean, engraved look. Uppercase forms are restrained and classical, while the lowercase is more flowing, with long, elegant extenders and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic slant and tapering, with open counters and pointed details that keep the texture lively in continuous setting.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, longform articles, and magazines where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary passages. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and titling when a classical, slanted serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings. Its sharp serifs and poised slant add a sense of speed and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
Designed to provide a conventional serif italic with a distinctly sharp, calligraphic edge—balancing readability with a lively, angled rhythm. The intent appears to be an elegant companion for text typography, capable of adding emphasis while maintaining a disciplined, classical structure.
In text, the diagonal movement and tapered endings create a bright, textured line with noticeable sparkle, especially where pointed terminals and narrow apertures repeat. The uppercase reads cleanly for headings, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its lively curves and extended strokes.
