A sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and clear vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy main strokes with very fine hairlines, producing crisp, pointed serifs and tapered terminals throughout. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the lowercase, with compact counters and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes ascenders and capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are clean, giving the text a polished, print-like rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic texture. It also fits formal applications—invitation suites, luxury or heritage branding, and display lines—where contrast and refinement are intended to be seen.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its glossy contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than casual friendliness, lending a literary, old-world refinement to headings and running text alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic with pronounced contrast and a composed, print-tradition sensibility. It prioritizes elegance, a lively typographic rhythm, and a clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairline details for sophisticated settings.
In text settings the strong thick–thin modulation creates bright internal sparkle, while the italic entry/exit strokes and tapered details add momentum across lines. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stance, aligning well with the letterforms in mixed alphanumeric use.
