A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic rhythm: thick, tapered main strokes are paired with extremely fine hairlines and delicate, bracketed serifs. The forms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show diagonal stress in rounded letters, while terminals often resolve into sharp, pointed finishes. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, with lively stroke modulation and generous internal counters that keep the design airy despite the contrast. Numerals and lowercase share the same refined, razor-thin joins and sweeping curves, producing a cohesive, polished texture in text.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, display lines, and elegant titling. It can support premium branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif look, particularly at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered strokes stay clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, evoking editorial refinement and a sense of luxury. Its italic movement adds a graceful, expressive voice that feels ceremonial and fashion-forward rather than casual.
The font appears designed to capture a traditional, engraved-italic sensibility with modern crispness—prioritizing grace, contrast, and expressive movement for refined reading and upscale display.
In running text the hairlines and tight joins create a sparkling, high-definition texture, with especially crisp diagonals in letters like V, W, and X and flowing curves in S, J, and g. The design rewards clean reproduction and ample spacing, where its fine details and sharp terminals can remain distinct.
