A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and fine, with a distinctly calligraphic flow and consistent rightward slant. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows lively, varied widths and a smooth rhythm suitable for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, with delicate joins and clean, crisp curves.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined headlines. It can also serve in elegant branding and packaging copy when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and contrast.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking classic book typography and formal publishing. Its sheen and contrast lend it a graceful, premium feel, while the energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and forward motion.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly polished italic companion with strong typographic tradition, balancing readability with a visibly refined, high-contrast texture. The intention appears to be an expressive but disciplined italic for sophisticated text and display emphasis.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and tight joins that read especially crisp at larger sizes, where the stroke contrast and curved entry/exit strokes become a defining character. The italic construction is assertive rather than subtle, giving emphasis without becoming overly ornamental.
