A high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems and hairlines show pronounced modulation, with bracketed serifs that feel sharp yet controlled, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a slightly expansive, airy texture, while the italics maintain steady spacing and a consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations, particularly at sizes where the thin strokes and sharp details can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a distinctly literary, old-world elegance. Its energetic italic movement reads expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of sophistication and formality.
Likely designed to provide a traditional italic companion with strong typographic color and a premium feel, balancing readability with expressive stroke modulation. The aim appears to be a versatile, classical serif italic that can carry both continuous text and display-oriented emphasis.
Capitals present a classical, inscriptional silhouette with strong diagonal stress, while the lowercase shows brisk joins and delicately finished endings that add sparkle in text. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with fine hairlines for a cohesive page color.
