A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced modulation between hairlines and main stems. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with many terminals finishing in fine points that enhance the slanted, calligraphic flow. Counters are relatively narrow and vertical proportions feel compact, while curves show diagonal stress typical of oldstyle-influenced italics. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive right-leaning rhythm with tight, elegant spacing.
Well-suited for magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with polish. It also fits elegant headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications, especially in fashion, culture, or hospitality contexts where high-contrast serif italics are a stylistic asset.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a poised, editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and lively italic movement add a sense of elegance and urgency, suggesting tradition and cultivated taste rather than a casual voice.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for text and display, balancing readability with a distinctive, calligraphic sparkle. Its consistent slant and sharply finished details suggest a focus on sophisticated emphasis and elegant hierarchy in editorial composition.
The lowercase shows expressive italic features such as a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a descending “f” with a pronounced hook, while capitals keep a dignified, inscriptional feel. Numerals follow the same modulated, slanted logic, reading as traditional and text-oriented rather than geometric or monoline.
