A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic rhythm and sharply tapered joins. Stems and diagonals show a strong thick–thin pattern, with stroke endings that widen into wedge-like, slightly flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The forms lean forward with lively curvature and crisp, pointed entry/exit strokes; round letters are narrow-oval and tightly drawn, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sleek and blade-like. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with flowing curves and tapered terminals that keep the color light yet striking in text.
Best suited to headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where the italic can carry emphasis as a primary voice. It also fits book covers and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and fashion-editorial polish. Its energetic slant and sharp contrasts add drama and a sense of movement, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctly italic, calligraphy-informed serif for sophisticated display and editorial settings, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more animated terminals for added visual tension and elegance.
The italic is assertive, with noticeable stroke modulation and compact internal spaces that can read especially crisp at display sizes. Curved letters show distinct pointed terminals and subtle swelling at ends, reinforcing the flared, calligraphic finish.
