A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and an evident calligraphic flow. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that create pointed, energetic terminals. Curves show an oblique stress and a slightly variable rhythm across letters, while capitals feel statuesque and cleanly carved. The lowercase is lively and slanted, with compact joins, narrow counters in places, and a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well suited to editorial and literary settings such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with clear authority. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a dramatic editorial elegance that feels traditional rather than experimental. Its sharp finishing strokes and pronounced contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suggesting classic publishing and high-end communication.
Designed to provide a traditional italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and elegant finishing, balancing classical proportions with lively calligraphic movement for refined text and display emphasis.
The italic angle and contrast create strong word-shape motion, especially in the lowercase, where tapered strokes and brisk terminals give a crisp, energetic cadence. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as stylish and display-leaning rather than purely utilitarian.
