A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines, fuller main strokes, and smoothly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with lively entry and exit strokes that give letters a forward, calligraphic flow. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow, while the lowercase shows generous curves and slightly variable widths that create a rhythmic texture in text. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with ascenders and descenders that integrate naturally with the lowercase color.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and anywhere an emphatic italic is needed for quotations, intros, or pull lines. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitation-style applications where elegance and tradition are desired, particularly at display and comfortable text sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and tradition rather than neutrality. Its strong italic voice reads as expressive and polished, suitable for conveying sophistication and a touch of ceremony.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic cadence, balancing readability with expressive stroke modulation. Its emphasis is on classic typographic authority and graceful movement in continuous reading.
In running text the contrast and slanted stress produce a crisp sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and serif details remain prominent. The lowercase has a smooth, continuous motion, while capitals provide a formal framework without feeling heavy or rigid.
