A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes taper dramatically from thick stems into hairline joins, with sharp, wedge-like serifs and crisp terminals that give the letters a chiseled, engraved feel. Capitals are narrow and poised with sweeping italic entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show compact bowls and energetic curves; the two-storey “g” and the looped descenders add a traditional book-face flavor. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with slender joins and delicate finishing strokes that keep the texture lively in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, pull quotes, and sophisticated headlines—where its contrast and italic motion can shine. It also fits formal, upscale materials such as invitations, programs, and packaging accents, and can add a classic voice to book covers and chapter openers.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking classic publishing and formal correspondence. Its brisk slant and sharp detailing lend a sense of speed and polish, while the high-contrast finish reads as premium and cultivated rather than casual.
The font appears designed to provide a refined italic voice with strong contrast and traditional serif manners, aimed at adding elegance and emphasis in display and editorial settings. Its calligraphic modulation and sharp serifs suggest an intention to feel timeless yet lively, prioritizing rhythm and sophistication over neutrality.
The design’s sparkle comes from very thin hairlines and pointed joins, so the texture looks most at home when given adequate size and breathing room. Letterforms maintain a consistent italic flow across cases, producing a cohesive, stylish rhythm in paragraphs and display lines alike.
