A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline joins and tapered terminals that create a crisp, luminous texture. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to very thin hairlines, with bracketed serifs and pointed, calligraphic entry/exit strokes that emphasize diagonal movement. Capitals are slender and poised with generous internal space, while lowercase forms keep a measured x-height and show lively italics—noticeable in the looped descenders and the flowing, slightly variable rhythm from letter to letter. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that read as display-oriented.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and upscale branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations and packaging that benefit from refined, high-contrast letterforms, and it can work for short passages at comfortable sizes when ample resolution and printing quality are available.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking fashion, publishing, and classical typography. Its pronounced contrast and energetic italic angle add drama and sophistication, making it feel premium and formal rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-style italic with pronounced contrast and calligraphic energy, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. The letterforms aim to project sophistication and a traditional bookish pedigree while remaining expressive in display settings.
The italic construction is expressive, with distinctive swash-like details in letters such as g, j, y, and f, giving the face a dynamic baseline and a strong sense of motion. In continuous text the thin hairlines and narrow joins create a bright, airy color, favoring larger sizes where the delicate details can remain clear.
