A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller stressed strokes, producing a clear diagonal rhythm. Serifs are sharply cut and lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals that feel calligraphic rather than mechanical. Capitals are narrow and sculpted with strong internal curves, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and pronounced entry/exit strokes that add momentum. The numerals follow the same italic construction with prominent curves and teardrop-like terminals, keeping the set visually cohesive in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is desired—pull quotes, intros, leads, and emphasis within longer reading. It also fits book and magazine titling, refined brand expressions, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs where elegance and motion are key.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a lively, humanist slant that reads as literary and editorial. Its sharp detailing and energetic italic cadence suggest sophistication without feeling overly formal or brittle.
The design appears intended as a traditional italic companion with a calligraphic sensibility, prioritizing an expressive slant, crisp contrast, and refined detailing for polished text and display use.
Round letters like C, O, and G show tight, controlled apertures and clean tapering, while forms such as J, f, and y introduce distinctive swashes and hooks that increase personality. In the sample text, the spacing and strong contrast create a rhythmic texture that emphasizes phrase-level movement, especially in mixed-case settings.
