A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, crisp hairlines, and bracketed serifs that give the forms a polished, classical rhythm. The capitals are narrow and slightly swept, with pointed terminals and restrained curvature, while the lowercase shows fluid, calligraphic construction with angled stress and energetic joins. Spacing reads relatively tight and forward-leaning, creating a continuous flow in text, and the numerals follow the same italic logic with strong thick–thin modulation and prominent curves.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined pull quotes. It also performs nicely for elegant headlines, subheads, and short display lines where the high contrast and slanted rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a confident, traditional elegance. Its brisk slant and bright hairlines lend a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel at home in editorial and culture-oriented settings.
Likely designed to provide a classic, energetic italic companion for text typography—balancing traditional serif proportions with a lively, calligraphic movement for expressive emphasis without departing from conventional readability.
The design emphasizes sharp internal corners, tapered entry/exit strokes, and a clean baseline rhythm, which helps keep the italic from feeling overly ornamental. Larger sizes reveal a graceful sparkle from the thin strokes, while smaller sizes may depend on sufficient resolution/printing to preserve the hairlines.
