A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes move from fine hairlines to firm stems with smooth, bracketed serifs and subtly pointed joins, giving the letters a sharp, polished silhouette. The lowercase shows a moderately sized x-height with lively ascenders/descenders and a gently varied width across forms; counters are relatively open, and curves resolve into thin, precise endings. Numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized logic, with sculpted curves and delicate finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine headings, pull quotes, and refined book titling—where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, and can support elegant brand identities when used with ample spacing and careful size selection.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive—more literary and editorial than utilitarian. It conveys sophistication and tradition, with a touch of flourish that reads as premium and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a classic, conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a more expressive, calligraphic finish, balancing tradition with a lively, contemporary sharpness for high-end editorial and display use.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a continuous forward motion in text. Thin hairlines and sharp entry/exit strokes add sparkle at display sizes, while the stronger main strokes keep letterforms stable and recognizable.
