A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and clear diagonal stress. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to firm main stems, with sharp, tapered entry and exit strokes and subtly flared, bracketed serif shaping. Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, and the letterforms show lively, varied widths that create a flowing rhythm in text. The overall construction feels controlled and traditional, with crisp joins and pointed details that remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other settings where an italic with presence is desired. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitation-style applications, particularly at display sizes where the contrast and tapered details can shine.
The tone is polished and expressive, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication rather than neutral utility. Its dynamic italic motion and sparkling contrast convey a sense of elegance and ceremony, suitable for content that benefits from a classic, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, balancing formal serif structure with energetic movement. It aims to provide an expressive, upscale texture for display and emphasis in text.
Capitals read as stately and open, while the lowercase emphasizes movement through long, angled strokes and fine hairline connections. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, giving figures a dressy, old-world feel that pairs naturally with text settings.
