A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and crisp hairline serifs. Strokes transition from fine entry/exit hairlines to fuller main stems, giving the letters a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, with sharp wedge-like terminals and delicate bracketing, while lowercase forms show flowing joins, open apertures, and compact bowls that maintain clarity in text. Numerals follow the same italic, calligraphic logic, with graceful curves and thin, tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal branding, packaging, and invitation work, and performs best from moderate to larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals remain distinct.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craftsmanship rather than overt display. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing read as formal and expressive, adding a sense of movement without feeling casual.
The design appears intended as a classic, conventional serif italic with a calligraphic edge—balancing readability with sophistication. Its sharp detailing and controlled proportions aim to provide an expressive italic for refined text and titling contexts.
Spacing appears relatively generous for an italic, helping the thin hairlines and sharp serifs avoid crowding in the sample text. The contrast and tapering terminals create a bright page color and a distinctly editorial texture, especially in longer passages.
