A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, pairing thick verticals with fine hairlines and crisp terminals. Counters are relatively open for an italic, with generous curves and slightly condensed rhythm in capitals; lowercase shows lively entry strokes and tapered joins that create a continuous, energetic texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, maintaining a consistent, polished color in text settings.
This design is well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as magazine headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and opening spreads. It also fits book jackets, cultural posters, and brand statements that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with a confident slant.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a sense of tradition and polish. Its sweeping italics and bright hairlines give it a dramatic, cultured presence that feels suited to classic publishing and high-end branding.
The font appears designed to deliver a sophisticated italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing traditional forms with crisp contrast for strong emphasis. Its structure prioritizes elegance and clarity in display and editorial contexts while retaining enough openness for short passages.
Capitals read formal and stately, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved strokes and pointed terminals, increasing emphasis without becoming ornamental. At smaller sizes, the thin hairlines suggest it will look best where printing or rendering can preserve delicate detail.
