A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with calligraphic entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals that add motion. The proportions feel slightly extended, with open counters and a crisp, polished rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals; curves are smooth while joins stay tight and pointed, producing a refined, energetic texture.
Best suited for display and short text where the high contrast and ornate italic details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, luxury branding, invitations, and packaging accents. It can also work for refined subheads, but the delicate hairlines and dynamic terminals suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-quality reproduction.
The tone is sophisticated and expressive, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashionable, italic flair. It reads as luxurious and slightly dramatic, suited to messaging that wants refinement and a sense of tradition without feeling rigid.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with elevated contrast and stylish terminals, aiming for a premium, editorial feel. The overall emphasis appears to be on elegance and movement, giving traditional serif forms a more expressive, fashion-forward presence.
The italic construction is consistently forward-leaning with lively terminals (notably in letters like Q, w, and y) that create a decorative sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals match the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stance, keeping mixed text cohesive.
