A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairline detailing. The design shows bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with strong thick–thin modulation across stems and curves. Proportions feel tall and elegant, with compact lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical grace. Spacing and stroke joins read clean and controlled, supporting a smooth, continuous flow in words while preserving sharp, well-defined edges in capitals and numerals.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an italic is used for emphasis or voice. It also works effectively in refined display applications—such as invitations, branding accents, and headlines—where its contrast and slanted rhythm can read as luxurious and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual friendliness. Its energetic slant and bright contrast convey a sense of ceremony and refinement, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-adjacent elegance in display sizes.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for text typography, balancing readability with an expressive, calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes elegance and typographic hierarchy, offering a distinct italic voice that can carry emphasis without losing classical discipline.
Capitals appear stately and slightly narrow with crisp serif treatment, while the lowercase maintains an italic, pen-like motion with clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, helping mixed text maintain a consistent texture and emphasis.
