A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms lean with a calligraphic rhythm, showing diagonal stress and smooth, continuous curves, while terminals often finish in small teardrops or pointed flicks. Capitals are moderately wide with crisp joins and prominent triangular serifs, and the lowercase shows compact, flowing shapes (notably in a, e, g, and y) that keep counters open without feeling loose. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with strong curves and fine finishing strokes, maintaining an even texture in text despite the delicate hairlines.
Well suited for long-form and editorial italics such as emphasis, quotations, introductions, and pull quotes, especially in books and magazines. It also works effectively for refined headlines and subheads where a classic italic voice is desired and the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a polished, editorial confidence. Its crisp contrast and elegant slant suggest formality and craft, evoking bookish sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The font appears designed to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic presence. Its intention seems to be an elegant, authoritative tone for publishing and editorial contexts, with enough sharp detail to feel premium in display use.
The design reads cleanly at display sizes, where the hairline details and pointed terminals become a defining feature. In denser text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, with particularly expressive shapes in letters like Q, J, f, and g that add character without turning decorative.
