A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal axis. Letterforms show tapered strokes and sharp, slightly hooked terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are moderately wide with elegant entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and uses flowing joins and angled cross strokes. Numerals and punctuation echo the same contrast and slanted, sculpted feel for consistent color in text.
Works well for editorial design, book titling, pull quotes, and short passages where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also suits formal branding, packaging, and invitations where high contrast and classical detailing can signal quality and tradition. For long-form body text, it will be strongest when used selectively as an accent italic rather than as the sole text face.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an expressive italic energy that feels cultivated rather than casual. It suggests editorial sophistication—confident, slightly dramatic, and well-suited to classical or heritage-forward settings.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif structure with a more expressive italic treatment—combining text-serious proportions with calligraphic movement and high contrast for emphasis and elegance.
The italic slant is assertive, and the contrast produces bright highlights and crisp hairlines that read best when given adequate size and spacing. Distinctive swash-like touches appear in some lowercase forms, adding flair without becoming fully script-like.
