A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Thick-to-thin transitions are strong, with hairline entry strokes, tapered joins, and sharp wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a crisp finish. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, and many letters show subtly teardrop-shaped ends and swashy hints (notably in curves and diagonals), producing an energetic, flowing texture. Proportions feel moderately condensed with lively italic forms, while figures follow the same steep stress and refined contrast for a cohesive overall color.
Works well for editorial display, book or magazine titling, pull quotes, and formal stationery where an elegant italic voice is desired. It is particularly effective for short-to-medium passages, headings, and refined brand marks that benefit from high-contrast sophistication.
The font projects a cultured, traditional tone—poised and expressive rather than neutral. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion suggest sophistication and a slightly romantic, editorial character, suitable for refined messaging and classic typographic voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with pronounced contrast and a graceful, calligraphy-informed flow. Its details prioritize elegance and expressive motion, aiming for a traditional, premium typographic feel in both titles and running text.
In text, the strong diagonal movement and narrow hairlines create a bright, sparkling page texture, especially at larger sizes. Capitals carry dramatic italic construction with long diagonals and pointed finishing strokes, adding emphasis for titling while remaining consistent with the lowercase’s flowing cadence.
