A high-contrast italic serif with slender proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, and the serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, often resolving into sharp, tapered terminals. The overall texture is bright and airy, with tight letterforms and energetic slant creating a quick reading flow. Numerals follow the same italicized, contrasty logic, with smooth curves and crisp joins that keep the set consistent in color.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed with authority—magazine features, book typography, and extended quotations. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles such as invitations, headlines, and titling where a polished, classic tone is desired.
The tone is poised and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its crisp contrast and graceful italics feel cultured and expressive, lending a sense of sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that emphasizes clarity and elegance through strong contrast and disciplined serif detailing. Its narrow, energetic forms aim to deliver a distinctive italic texture that reads smoothly while adding a formal, expressive accent.
Ascenders and capitals feel tall and prominent, reinforcing the font’s verticality and refined sparkle on the line. Curves (notably in round letters and numerals) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes add a subtle handwritten energy that keeps paragraphs from looking static.
