A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines, substantial main strokes, and crisply bracketed serifs. The construction reads calligraphic, with a consistent rightward slant and lively stroke modulation that produces pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishes. Proportions are slightly condensed in many capitals, while the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with generous curves and a relatively even, text-oriented x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle and italic, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and ornamental tails on select forms.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and other settings where an elegant italic voice is needed for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, or highlighted passages. It can also serve as a refined brand accent in packaging or identity systems, especially when paired with a steadier roman companion.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining a traditional bookish presence with a fashionable, high-drama sheen. Its energetic italic movement and fine hairlines give it a refined, upscale character suited to expressive emphasis rather than purely utilitarian setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with strong calligraphic energy and elevated contrast, balancing traditional text-serifs cues with extra flourish in terminals and numerals for expressive, premium-looking typography.
The italic forms are strongly differentiated, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and pronounced curvature in letters like a, f, g, y, and z. High contrast and delicate joins suggest best results at comfortable text-to-display sizes where fine details can remain clear.
