A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, fuller curved strokes, and finely bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. The italic construction is lively and moderately steep, with teardrop-like terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stress that becomes most apparent in the bowls and diagonals. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while lowercase shows fluid joins and a slightly irregular rhythm that adds warmth without losing polish. Figures follow the same contrast pattern, with delicate entry strokes and prominent, rounded main strokes.
This font suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with strong contrast can add hierarchy and sophistication. It also performs well for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-leaning branding—where its sharp hairlines and refined curves can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, combining formal elegance with a hint of handwritten flair. It reads as poised and upscale—well suited to settings that want a classic voice with a fashionable, contemporary sheen.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, traditional serif italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic cadence, offering an elegant voice for both text emphasis and high-end display settings.
Spacing appears comfortable for text, with clear counters and a steady baseline flow in the sample setting. Several letters feature expressive terminals and gentle swash-like curves (notably in descenders), which add personality and motion while staying within a conventional text-serif framework.
