An italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes, combining crisp hairlines with heavier, tapered main strokes. Terminals and serifs flare subtly rather than ending in blunt slabs, giving stems a sculpted, swelling finish and a slightly calligraphic feel. The slant is consistent and energetic, with smooth curves, narrow joins, and a lively rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals and caps maintain the same high-contrast logic, with sharp diagonal accents and fine entry/exit strokes that emphasize a polished, editorial look.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine work, pull quotes, and refined branding where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with elegance. It can also serve as a display serif for headlines and short-form text where its contrast and flared detailing can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing traditional sophistication with a sense of motion and drama from the italic angle and sharp hairlines. It reads as formal and cultivated, suited to conveying prestige without feeling rigid or mechanical.
The font appears designed to provide a sophisticated italic with classic serif cues and flared, tapered finishing, aiming for a formal yet lively texture in reading and display contexts. Its contrast and terminal treatment suggest an intention to evoke traditional print elegance while maintaining a brisk, contemporary rhythm.
The design relies on delicate thin strokes and crisp details, so it tends to look most confident when given enough size or printing/antialiasing quality to preserve its hairlines. Curves and diagonals show a deliberate, slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps text visually animated.
