A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant, narrow apertures, and a lively rhythm driven by diagonal stress and crisp transitions. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with frequent wedge-like terminals that give the shapes a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Counters stay relatively compact, and curves (notably in rounds and the figures) are clean and controlled, producing a polished, print-oriented texture.
This style performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and cultured long-form reading where an italic voice is needed. It is also well suited to refined display roles—pull quotes, headlines, invitations, and brand copy—where its high contrast and sharp terminals can be showcased at larger sizes.
The overall tone is literary and refined, with a distinctly classical, bookish elegance. It feels formal without becoming rigid, projecting a sense of tradition and cultivated taste that suits sophisticated editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a classic italic companion with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge, aimed at conveying sophistication and movement while maintaining conventional serif readability. It prioritizes a graceful, authoritative texture suitable for polished publishing and formal communication.
Capitals appear stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable flow with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same italic logic and contrast pattern, helping text set with figures maintain consistent color and pace.
