A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and fuller, smoothly swelling main strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed with pointed terminals that emphasize direction and movement, while the curves show a controlled, calligraphic modulation. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, with compact counters and a slightly formal rhythm; joins and diagonals feel crisp, and numerals follow the same refined, old-style sensibility in their stroke contrast and proportions.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined promotional materials where an expressive italic voice is needed. It works especially well for pull quotes, intros, captions, and elegant brand statements that benefit from a polished, classical texture.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultivated editorial design. Its energetic italic stance and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and urgency without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif in an italic style, balancing classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic stroke model. It aims to provide an elegant, authoritative voice for continuous reading and refined display settings.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The capitals present a dignified, classical presence, while the lowercase maintains a fluid, writing-like cadence with clear differentiation between letterforms.
