A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that feel cut and precise. The italic angle is pronounced, with flowing joins and narrow apertures that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with clean, hairline serifs, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and compact counters for a crisp texture. Numerals follow the same steep stress and contrast, reading slender and editorial in tone.
Well-suited to long-form book typography and editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and headings. It also works effectively for magazine features, formal invitations, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, classical tone.
The overall impression is polished and literary, pairing classic sophistication with a touch of drama from the steep italic and strong thick–thin modulation. It feels at home in traditional, cultured contexts where elegance and formality are desired.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic slant, designed to provide a graceful, authoritative voice in reading and editorial environments.
The design leans on fine hairlines and pointed terminals, which heightens sparkle at larger sizes and creates a denser, more shimmering texture in paragraphs. The strong italic movement makes it especially expressive for emphasis and display settings.
