An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharply cut wedge-like serifs that taper into pointed terminals. The forms are calligraphically informed: strokes lean consistently, joins are smooth, and curves are taut, giving the texture a lively, shimmering rhythm in text. Proportions feel classically grounded with moderate x-height, relatively narrow lowercase, and prominent ascenders and descenders that add elegance and vertical movement. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, keeping the set cohesive.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming decorative. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, elevated feel. At larger sizes it can serve as a refined display italic for headings, titling, and short statements.
This typeface conveys a literary, cultured tone with a touch of formality. Its italic flow and crisp contrast suggest refinement and tradition rather than casual friendliness. The overall impression is confident and slightly dramatic, suited to expressive, voice-led typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with added italic expressiveness, balancing crisp detail with a smooth, continuous cursive rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and tonal nuance—useful for emphasizing voice, quotation, and stylistic contrast—while retaining the structure expected of a conventional serif.
The lively italic angle and strong contrast create a distinct texture, so line spacing may benefit from a bit of extra leading in dense paragraphs. The pointed terminals and sharp serifs read especially cleanly at display sizes, where the calligraphic detailing becomes more apparent.
