A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, engraved feel and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes transition from hairline connections to weighty main stems, with sharp terminals and fine, tapered serifs that read as delicately bracketed rather than slabby. The outlines show a calligraphic rhythm—curved joins, narrow apertures, and lively entry/exit strokes—while overall proportions stay relatively tall and slim. Numerals and capitals maintain the same dramatic contrast and italic momentum, producing a refined, shimmering texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography for italic emphasis, and refined headlines where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, fashion or cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic book typography and formal print craft. Its sharpness and contrast convey luxury and sophistication, while the italic motion adds a sense of poise and expressive emphasis.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic for sophisticated communication, combining classical serif structure with a graceful, calligraphic cadence for expressive emphasis and elegant display.
Uppercase forms are restrained but stylized, with occasional flourish in diagonals and terminals (notably in letters like J, Q, and y). In paragraph setting the strong contrast creates a bright, rhythmic pattern, making it especially characterful at display sizes and for emphasized runs within text.
