A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an energetic forward slant, with thin hairlines and thicker main stems that create a bright, elegant texture in text. Capitals are narrow and poised with clean, pointed terminals, while the lowercase includes flowing, calligraphic shapes—most noticeably in the single-storey “a,” the curved descenders, and the lively italic joins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted construction, with delicate entry/exit strokes and compact, slightly variable proportions.
This style performs well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and situations where italic voice is prominent—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined emphasis. It also suits formal branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs where an elegant, classical tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its pronounced italic motion and fine hairlines give it a polished, expressive character suited to elegant emphasis rather than neutral narration.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast italic text serif with a distinctly calligraphic flavor, providing a graceful, authoritative voice for reading contexts and refined typographic emphasis.
In paragraphs the rhythm is animated and slightly sparkling due to the strong contrast and slender hairlines, with italics that feel deliberately calligraphic rather than merely obliqued. The forms balance sharpness (thin terminals, crisp serifs) with soft curvature in bowls and descenders, producing a classic, refined color.
