A slanted serif text face with sharp, high-contrast strokes and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Hairlines are very fine while main strokes are sturdy, producing a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are tapered and pointed rather than blocky, with frequent wedge-like terminals and subtle flicks on joins and ends. Proportions feel moderately narrow with lively, varied curves; counters are open and the rhythm is smooth, giving paragraphs a light, flowing color without looking fragile.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits refined branding and printed materials such as invitations and programs, especially at sizes where its thin hairlines and pointed serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a cultured, editorial feel. Its brisk italic movement and needle-fine details suggest formality and sophistication, while the soft curvature keeps it personable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful italic with strong contrast and classical serif manners, balancing readability with a noticeably stylish, calligraphic finish. It aims to deliver an elevated, traditional tone for text settings while adding energy through its consistent forward motion.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the design relies on delicate hairlines that will read best when reproduction quality is high. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, tapered logic, reinforcing a cohesive, refined voice.
