A high-contrast italic serif with steep slant, crisp hairlines, and emphasized verticals that create a lively, formal texture. Serifs are finely bracketed with pointed, wedge-like terminals, and many joins show a subtle calligraphic influence. Curves are generous and polished, with tapered strokes and compact counters that keep the rhythm tight at text sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, pairing slender diagonals with rounded bowls and delicate finishing strokes.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to carry elegance—magazine features, book interiors, and refined marketing copy. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headings, and short-form display where the high contrast and sharp terminals can read as premium and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, leaning toward traditional sophistication rather than neutrality. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs evoke a cultured, bookish atmosphere suited to premium editorial settings.
Designed to provide a sophisticated italic with strong contrast and a calligraphic undercurrent, balancing classical serif conventions with expressive movement. The aim appears to be an italic that can function both as a companion style in text and as a distinctive, elegant accent in display settings.
Uppercase forms feel slightly more formal and stately, while lowercase italics add motion through long entry/exit strokes and pronounced diagonals. The font maintains consistent contrast behavior across letters and figures, giving paragraphs a smooth, continuous flow.
