A high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines, firm vertical stress, and crisp, tapered terminals. The forms show calligraphic influence in the entry and exit strokes, with compact, well-controlled curves and a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp, helping the letterforms feel precise and elegant while maintaining clear interior spaces at text sizes.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and long-form articles where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles. It also works effectively in invitations, branding, and luxury-oriented packaging where high contrast and a graceful slant can add prestige. Best results will come from sizes and printing or rendering conditions that preserve the fine hairlines.
