A high-contrast italic serif with a clearly calligraphic construction and pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes shift from very thin hairlines to robust stems, with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel etched rather than blunt. The capitals are compact and slightly leaning with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows lively, cursive-derived forms with a flowing rhythm and variable sidebearings that create an elegant, uneven texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, mixing strong verticals with fine linking hairlines and subtly tapered ends.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined subheads—as well as book or literary titling. It can also serve formal applications like invitations or upscale packaging where a classic, high-contrast serif italic adds prestige and movement.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and classical printing. Its slanted, high-contrast forms read as elegant and slightly dramatic, lending an air of sophistication and ceremony rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a strong calligraphic backbone—balancing traditional bookish proportions with a more expressive, high-contrast stroke modulation for emphasis and elegance.
In continuous text the pronounced contrast and fine hairlines produce a delicate sparkle, especially around joins and serifs. The italic angle is steady and coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a consistent forward motion and a distinctly editorial cadence.
