A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are sharply tapered and largely bracketed, with triangular entry strokes and crisp, knife-like terminals that give the forms a chiseled finish. Capitals are narrow and poised with classical proportions, while the lowercase shows compact, slightly varied widths and a rhythmic, handwritten-influenced flow. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with slender hairlines and pronounced curves that read as refined rather than geometric.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book titling, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal branding, invitations, and other premium applications that benefit from sharp, high-contrast detail and a traditional serif tone.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama, suggesting formality and a cultivated, literary voice rather than casual everyday utility.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for refined typography—combining conventional serif structures with brisk, calligraphic movement. Its emphasis on crisp terminals and pronounced modulation suggests a focus on elegance and expressive emphasis in headings or highlighted text.
In text, the italic angle and energetic stroke contrast create lively word shapes and a pronounced typographic texture. The thin hairlines and pointed details make it feel crisp at display sizes, while the steady rhythm and conventional letterforms keep it anchored in familiar book and magazine typography.
