A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Strokes taper with a calligraphic feel, and many joins resolve into pointed terminals rather than blunt ends. The italics show a consistent forward slant and flowing rhythm, with compact, slightly narrowed letterforms and lively entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms feel classical and stately, while lowercase has more cursive structure (notably in a, f, g, y) and maintains crisp counters despite the thin hairlines.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, pull quotes, and book typography where an elegant italic is desired. It can also support formal printed materials such as invitations and upscale brand applications, especially when set at display sizes where its fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a distinctly editorial and literary voice. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic movement lend it a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel suited to premium, traditional contexts rather than utilitarian UI text.
Designed to evoke a classical, calligraphy-informed italic for refined reading and display, emphasizing contrast, grace, and a traditional serif presence. The intent appears focused on expressive text color and elegant motion rather than rugged durability in small, low-resolution settings.
Figures appear oldstyle with varying heights and pronounced contrast, aligning visually with the text style and reinforcing a bookish, traditional texture. In the sample setting, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a sparkling page color that benefits from generous sizes and careful spacing.
