A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and swelling main strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharply tapered and bracketed, often resolving into wedge-like terminals that emphasize forward motion. Proportions feel moderately condensed with generous ascenders and a clean, readable x-height, while counters stay open despite the strong stroke modulation. The figures and capitals follow the same angled stress and crisp finishing, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and elegant short-form text where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits refined branding, cultural communications, and formal materials such as invitations or announcements, particularly when used at display or comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, pairing traditional bookish manners with a fashionable, editorial sheen. Its slanted stance and sharp terminals add a sense of speed and sophistication, suggesting formality without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended as a classic italic companion for sophisticated typography, prioritizing graceful motion, sharp finishing, and a premium feel. Its controlled calligraphic cues suggest an aim for expressive emphasis in editorial and literary settings rather than utilitarian neutrality.
In the text sample, the strong contrast produces a pronounced light–dark pattern, especially in diagonals and curves, which lends sparkle at larger sizes. The italic forms remain steady and well-controlled, avoiding excessive flourish while still reading distinctly italic.
