A crisp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that sharpen terminals and give letters a slightly swashed feel without becoming ornate. Capitals are narrow and poised, while lowercase forms lean with a smooth, continuous flow; counters stay open and curves are drawn with elegant tension. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing delicate hairlines with firm verticals for a polished, editorial texture.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is desired as a primary style—magazine features, cultural writing, book interiors, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for refined headlines and display lines, as well as formal stationery where a graceful, high-contrast serif can convey prestige.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, suggesting literary sophistication and fashion-forward polish. Its slanted movement and sharp terminals add energy and a sense of premium craft, while the classical serif structure keeps it anchored and formal.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic italic with elevated contrast and sharp, contemporary finesse—an italic that can carry both emphasis and primary text roles while maintaining a distinctly upscale, editorial presence.
At text sizes the thin hairlines and tight joins read as particularly delicate, so the font’s character comes through best when reproduction is clean and not overly coarse. The italic angle is consistent across cases, creating a cohesive, forward-leaning rhythm in paragraphs.
