A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals, bracketed joins, and crisp apexes. Proportions feel slightly expansive, giving capitals a stately footprint, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and lively, fluid counters. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with curving shapes and fine finishing details that read best when given room.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book titling, magazine headlines, and pull quotes where an elegant italic can carry the voice of the design. It can also work for refined branding applications—such as beauty, fashion, and hospitality—where high-contrast serif detailing communicates quality and tradition.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and contemporary editorial styling. Its italic voice feels expressive and cultured rather than casual, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony to headlines and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a strong editorial presence, balancing formal structure with calligraphic energy. It aims to provide a graceful, attention-catching texture while remaining anchored in conventional serif construction for familiar readability.
In the text sample, the delicate hairlines and tight internal details suggest it benefits from generous sizes and considerate spacing, especially in print-like settings. The italic forms provide strong emphasis and movement, making it suitable as a primary display italic or a companion for highlighting within longer text.
