A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, blade-like terminals. The design shows flared stroke endings rather than heavy bracketed serifs, with long, clean entry and exit strokes that keep the rhythm lively. Counters are open and rounded, joins are taut, and curves transition quickly into tapered points, giving the letterforms a sculpted, high-finish look. The italic angle is assertive, and spacing feels carefully balanced for continuous reading, with a slightly varied texture between round and straight-sided forms.
Well suited to magazine features, book typography, and other editorial layouts where an italic voice is used for emphasis with style. It can serve as a strong headline or subhead italic, and also works for pull quotes, front-of-book sections, and elegant branding lines where a refined, classical tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, reading as formal without feeling stiff. Its strong calligraphic energy and sharp finishing details evoke a traditional, bookish elegance suited to premium editorial settings. The lively slant adds momentum and a sense of sophistication, making it feel expressive yet controlled.
The font appears designed to deliver a premium italic with crisp contrast and flared finishing, balancing calligraphic motion with typographic discipline. Its forms aim to provide an elegant, high-impact voice that remains readable in longer passages while offering distinctive sparkle in display settings.
Distinctive pointed terminals and flared endings create sparkle at display sizes, while the consistent stroke contrast maintains a clear, rhythmic line in text. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, cut-metal sharpness, contributing to a cohesive, refined page color.
