A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The forms are narrow-leaning with a smooth, consistent slant and a lively rhythm created by long entry/exit strokes and gently curved terminals. Counters are relatively open for an italic, and the overall color stays crisp and airy, with thin horizontals and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Figures follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that match the text style.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal materials like invitations or programs, and works effectively for refined display lines when paired with a more restrained roman companion.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial settings. Its flowing italic movement reads as sophisticated and expressive rather than casual, adding a sense of ceremony and refinement to headlines and quotations.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, balancing graceful calligraphic motion with enough regularity to function in continuous text. It aims to provide an expressive emphasis style that remains clean and composed across both text and numerals.
Diagonal stress is apparent in rounded letters, and many joins and terminals show a subtly penned character rather than purely mechanical construction. The italic capitals feel stately and slightly dramatic, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture that supports longer lines when set with comfortable spacing.
