A high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes taper into sharp, flared terminals and bracketed serifs, giving the forms a sculpted, engraved feel rather than blunt slab endings. Capitals are proportionally generous and slightly narrow in posture, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders that add rhythm and air. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are crisp, and the overall color stays light and bright on the page with clear internal counters.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and refined branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary titling. It also fits formal print pieces like invitations and programs, and works effectively for short headlines and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is refined and literary, with a poised, classical elegance typical of book and magazine italics. Its lively slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and motion without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to deliver an expressive italic with traditional serif manners, balancing crisp hairlines and flared finishing with steady readability. The intent appears to be a graceful, premium text companion that adds emphasis and elegance while retaining typographic discipline.
The italic influence is strong throughout, including single-storey forms and dynamic diagonals that create a consistent forward pull. Numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered logic and read best when given sufficient size or generous spacing, as the hairlines and pointed terminals are a key part of the character.
