A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, sharp hairlines, and tapered entry/exit strokes that give the forms a calligraphic cadence. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed terminals and subtle teardrop-like ends on some strokes. Proportions feel gently variable and lively, with narrow joins and an overall crisp rhythm; capitals are slightly more restrained while the lowercase shows more cursive movement, including a single-storey a and g. Figures are italic and flowing, matching the text’s angled stress and delicate finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes where an italic voice is needed. It also fits formal invitations, packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, calligraphic serif presence.
The face reads as polished and literary, with a distinctly classical tone suited to refined, traditional typography. Its sparkling contrast and cursive motion suggest sophistication and formality rather than neutrality, lending a sense of ceremony to headings and emphasized passages.
Designed to provide an expressive italic with traditional serif structure, combining crisp high contrast with controlled calligraphic detailing for a premium, classic reading and display feel.
In text settings, the strong contrast and tight hairlines create a bright, shimmering texture; spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing an energetic, editorial color. Swash-like strokes appear in a few shapes (notably in capitals and select lowercase terminals), adding personality without tipping into script.
