A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The letters lean with a steady forward slant and a smooth, continuous rhythm, showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and needle-like terminals in places. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with flowing diagonals and slightly calligraphic entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and open counters, giving text a lively, slightly shimmering texture. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with curving, old-style-feeling movement and prominent stroke contrast.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book design italics, pull quotes, and refined headlines where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively in formal materials such as invitations or cultural programs, especially when paired with a more restrained roman for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial styling. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement add a sense of sophistication and drama, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast serif italic for conventional text typography, providing emphasis and tone with smooth calligraphic motion. It prioritizes elegance and classic readability while delivering a distinctly italic, expressive texture.
In running text the italic angle and contrast create strong horizontal momentum, while the sharp serifs and tapered joins keep edges crisp at display sizes. The design reads as a conventional serif italic with a subtly calligraphic hand, emphasizing grace and precision over sturdiness.
