A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, calligraphic construction and crisp hairlines against substantial verticals. The letterforms lean decisively with a lively, handwritten rhythm, while maintaining clear serif structure and consistent modulation. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like and often subtly bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that create a sleek, cutting silhouette. Lowercase shows a traditional italic model with single-storey a and g and flowing joins, while capitals are compact and formal with clean, angled stress.
Well suited to editorial headlines, subheads, and typographic moments where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with style. It can work effectively for book and magazine covers, pull quotes, invitations, and branding lines where contrast and elegance are priorities over long-form readability at small sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, mixing classic bookish refinement with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its contrast and energetic slant convey sophistication and momentum, making it feel at home in polished, high-end settings.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for display and emphasis, drawing on traditional serif italic models while sharpening terminals and serifs for a more dramatic, contemporary bite. It prioritizes expressive motion, refined detailing, and a polished page color in larger settings.
Spacing appears tighter in display text, amplifying the dense, headline-like texture typical of high-contrast italics. Numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, with curved figures and sharp finishing strokes that keep the set visually unified.
