A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and lively, calligraphic stroke modulation. Stems and terminals taper and subtly flare, creating wedge-like endings and bracketed serif transitions that feel drawn rather than constructed. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed in their turns, with sharp entry/exit strokes and crisp joins that emphasize rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with a single-storey a and g, and the overall color is bright and shimmering due to the strong thick–thin interplay.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other situations where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve for premium branding and formal invitations, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes where its fine strokes and flared endings remain clear.
The font conveys an upscale, literary tone—poised and expressive without becoming ornate. Its motion and contrast suggest tradition and craft, making it feel suited to cultured, formal communication and classic publishing aesthetics.
Likely designed to provide a refined italic with pronounced calligraphic energy and classic proportions, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast character. The flared terminals and tapered strokes appear intended to add sophistication and a handcrafted feel in display and editorial settings.
Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with sweeping italic stress, while numerals share the same sharp terminals and contrast, reading best when given a bit of space. In continuous text the slanted forms create a strong forward flow, and the high contrast rewards larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
