A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms lean decisively with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing tapered entry strokes and finely pointed finishing strokes. Serifs are delicate and neatly bracketed, and curves are drawn with crisp, controlled tension, giving counters a clean, open feel. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with clearly differentiated shapes and lively joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book and magazine settings, especially for italic use in long-form reading, pull quotes, and intros. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a refined, classic voice is desired, and can support premium branding when used at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, suggesting tradition, poise, and editorial polish. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic motion add a sense of grace and ceremony, suitable for text that wants to feel considered and upscale rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic for text typography, prioritizing a polished reading rhythm and a graceful, calligraphy-informed slant. Its delicate detailing and controlled proportions aim to convey classic authority with an elevated, contemporary finish.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, with graceful curves and fine terminals that visually align with the letterforms. In running text, the stroke modulation creates an airy color and a pronounced diagonal flow, emphasizing elegance over ruggedness.
