A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic axis. Serifs are fine and sharp, with crisp, tapered terminals and slender hairlines that heighten the vertical emphasis. The italic forms show a consistent forward slant and energetic curvature, with compact counters and slightly variable character widths that create an animated texture in text. Overall proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with a balanced x-height and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, or lead-ins. It can also serve book and magazine interiors, particularly where a classic, high-contrast texture is desired. At larger sizes it works effectively for refined headlines, invitations, and formal announcements.
The design conveys refinement and tradition, with a poised, literary tone that reads as cultured and editorial. Its shimmering contrast and angled movement add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, leaning more classic than casual.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic text serif that brings a classic publishing feel to contemporary layout. Its goal seems to be delivering an expressive but disciplined italic with strong typographic color and a polished, traditional character.
In paragraph settings the italic angle and strong contrast produce a distinct rhythm, with prominent capitals and a noticeably expressive lowercase. The numerals share the same contrast and slant, giving figures a formal, print-like presence.
