A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic rhythm and pronounced diagonal stress. Hairlines are fine and crisp while main strokes are noticeably heavier, producing a bright, sparkling texture in display sizes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with many terminals finishing in tapered, wedge-like points; curves are smooth and slightly compressed, and joins feel deliberately carved rather than mechanical. Uppercase forms are steady and formal, while the lowercase shows lively motion with slanted stems, open counters, and distinctive, sweeping shapes on letters like g, y, and z; numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with elegant curves and narrow proportions.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined print collateral. It can also support branding that wants a classic, premium voice, particularly where italic emphasis or a formal, literary feel is desirable. Best used where the high contrast and fine hairlines can be preserved, such as larger sizes or high-quality print.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying refinement and a slightly dramatic, old-world elegance. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel suited to elevated, literary contexts rather than utilitarian UI text.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif voice in an italic, high-contrast form that feels rooted in calligraphic tradition. The intent appears to balance formality with expressive movement, offering an elegant texture for display and editorial settings while remaining recognizably traditional.
In running text the font creates a strong diagonal flow and a patterned contrast between thick and thin strokes, which can read as luxurious but also visually active. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
