A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairline-to-stem modulation. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, often resolving into tapered, wedge-like terminals that emphasize a calligraphic stroke logic. Capitals are relatively narrow with strong vertical stress and crisp entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show smooth, rhythmic joins and lively, angled terminals. Figures are lining-style and italic, with slender forms and delicate curves that match the text’s overall sheen.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary titles where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal materials like invitations and announcements, and can work in premium branding or packaging when used with sufficient size and spacing.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—graceful and formal, with the poised sparkle typical of refined book italics. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for elevated editorial voice and classical styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes elegance and readability while retaining a distinctly calligraphic character. Its high contrast and sharp terminals suggest a role as a sophisticated companion for roman text, adding hierarchy and emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The overall color is bright and airy due to thin hairlines and narrow counters, giving text a crisp texture at display sizes. Curved letters show pronounced stroke swelling and tapered exits, creating a flowing rhythm; spacing appears slightly generous for an italic, helping maintain clarity despite the strong contrast.
