A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic skeleton and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are slightly narrow and upright in stance but clearly slanted, with sharp apexes and fine, bracketed serifs that taper to hairlines. Lowercase forms show fluid entry and exit strokes, a single-storey italic “a,” and lively curves that create a clear diagonal rhythm across words. Numerals echo the same contrast and slant, with thin hairline joins and delicately finished terminals.
This font suits editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for display lines, pull quotes, leads, or refined titling. It also fits formal print materials such as invitations or programs, and works well as an accent face paired with a roman text serif for emphasis and hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial styling. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement feel expressive and cultured rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of sophistication to headlines and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, prioritizing graceful movement, sharp detail, and a traditional serif vocabulary. It aims to deliver an expressive, premium tone for settings where elegance and emphasis are key.
Stroke endings are frequently finished with small teardrop or wedge-like terminals, and the thin strokes get extremely fine, giving the face a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward motion and a distinctly traditional italic color on the page.
