A high-contrast serif italic with a calligraphic stress and crisp hairline transitions. Stems are slender and tapered, with sharp, bracketed serifs and finely pointed terminals that give the outlines a clean, engraved feel. Curves are taut and well controlled, and the italics show a lively rhythm with pronounced entry/exit strokes; letter widths vary noticeably, contributing to a dynamic texture in word shapes. The numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with delicate joins and prominent thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic voice is used prominently. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high contrast and a cultivated, classic tone.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a distinctly literary, editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and brisk slant feel stylish and expressive without becoming decorative, conveying sophistication and a sense of tradition.
Designed to provide an elegant italic with strong typographic presence, balancing traditional serif structure with expressive, calligraphic movement. The construction prioritizes refined contrast and crisp detail to create distinctive word shapes for emphasis and high-impact setting.
In text, the strong diagonal movement and narrow hairlines create a bright, sparkling color, especially at larger sizes. The italic forms are assertive, with sharp apexes and tapered strokes that emphasize motion and hierarchy.
