A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp hairline-to-stem relationship and distinctly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give curves a polished, drawn quality. Proportions are relatively narrow with a rhythmic rightward slant; counters stay open and the overall color remains light and airy despite the strong thick–thin contrast. Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical, while lowercase shows more cursive movement in bowls and terminals, creating a dynamic text line.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazine typography, book and journal titling, and refined marketing materials where an elegant italic voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where its contrast and motion can be appreciated without crowding.
The font conveys a poised, editorial sophistication with a touch of handwritten energy. Its sharp contrast and graceful italics read as premium and literary, lending a sense of tradition and polish without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-style italic companion for contemporary editorial work, balancing traditional serif structure with expressive calligraphic stroke endings. It aims for a refined presence that elevates tone and hierarchy in display and prominent text settings.
In text, the italic rhythm is continuous and smooth, with prominent diagonals and sweeping joins that emphasize forward motion. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with curved figures and delicate hairline details that look best when given adequate size and whitespace.
