A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and broad, swelling main strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The italic angle is consistent and moderately steep, with tapered entry/exit strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs that stay delicate rather than chunky. Uppercase forms read as stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase shows more movement through curved joins, hooked terminals, and varied stroke modulation, giving the texture a distinctly fluid, pen-driven feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with sculpted curves and fine finishing details.
Well suited to magazine and editorial typography, cover lines, and display applications where contrast and italic energy enhance hierarchy. It can also serve for upscale branding and event materials such as invitations and programs, especially when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and cultivated, projecting a polished, literary sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion add a sense of sophistication and flair, suited to settings where typographic character is meant to be seen rather than disappear into the background.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a contemporary crispness—balancing traditional serif construction with expressive, calligraphic stroke behavior for elegant display and editorial emphasis.
At larger sizes the sharp serifs and hairlines look crisp and luxurious, while the strong thick–thin modulation creates pronounced sparkle across lines. Curves and terminals (notably in letters with bowls and diagonals) emphasize a graceful, slightly theatrical gesture without becoming overly ornate.
