A high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic movement and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with thin hairlines and weight concentrated in the main diagonals and stems, giving a bright, sparkling texture in text. Proportions feel generous and slightly expansive, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through lowercase and figures. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, maintaining a cohesive, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and magazines, especially for passages that benefit from an italic voice. It also works effectively for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand or event materials where a classic, formal tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and editorial sophistication. Its sharp details and energetic slant add a sense of formality and momentum, reading as more refined than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion for text work, balancing readable proportions with a distinctly calligraphic slant and high-contrast finesse. It aims to evoke established book-serifs while adding a lively, expressive stroke rhythm.
Capitals show restrained grandeur with gently flared strokes and clean serif joins, while the lowercase leans into smooth entry/exit strokes that reinforce a handwriting-informed italic. The combination of strong contrast and delicate hairlines favors print-like presentation and careful size/spacing choices to preserve detail.
