A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairline connections. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and delicately bracketed serifs, producing a sharp, shimmering texture in running text. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in stance with fluid, calligraphic curves and careful spacing that keeps the rhythm even despite the dynamic diagonals. Numerals match the italic energy, with slender forms and flowing curves that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or display. It also fits refined branding applications—packaging, invitations, and cultural or luxury-oriented identities—especially where a sophisticated, classic impression is desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its refined contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and formality, leaning toward classic print aesthetics rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with calligraphic poise—providing an expressive companion for text and display settings while maintaining a disciplined, readable rhythm.
The italic construction is emphatic, with long entry/exit strokes and a lively baseline flow that becomes more expressive in letters like f, j, y, and z. The uppercase set feels stately and slightly restrained, while the lowercase carries most of the motion and personality, yielding a graceful, bookish color in paragraphs.
