A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. The forms show a pronounced rightward slant, narrow internal apertures, and a lively rhythm driven by steep diagonals and sharp joins. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving into fine points, while curves transition quickly from thick to thin, giving counters a slightly teardrop feel. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and longer extenders, and the numerals follow the same modulated, italic construction.
Best suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other refined compositions where an italic voice is central. It also works well for invitations, certificates, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a distinctly classic, editorial flavor. Its sharp contrast and poised italic movement convey sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward expressive refinement than everyday neutrality.
Designed to provide a traditional, expressive italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic cadence, aiming to bring elegance and emphasis to text while maintaining a conventional serif structure.
In text, the strong slant and tight lowercase proportions create a fast, flowing texture with clear thick–thin striping across lines. The italic capitals are especially sculpted and prominent, making them effective for emphasized openings and display phrases where the elegant modulation can be appreciated.
