A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and a poised, flowing rhythm. Hairlines are very fine and crisp while key stems swell smoothly, creating a bright, polished color on the page. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often finishing in pointed terminals rather than blunt brackets, and many lowercase forms show gentle entry strokes and restrained exit flicks. Proportions lean narrow and tall with compact counters, and the numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stance for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also work effectively for invitations, formal announcements, and premium packaging accents where high contrast and refined detailing signal sophistication. Best used at sizes and in print conditions that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with the kind of formality associated with editorial typography and classical book work. Its italic motion feels deliberate and cultured rather than casual, suggesting sophistication and ceremony. The sharp finishing details add a sense of precision and luxury.
Designed to provide a classical, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphic character. The intention appears to be a polished, timeless italic that elevates tone without becoming ornamental.
Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with consistent modulation across rounds and diagonals. The italic inclination is steady throughout, helping words form a cohesive forward-leaning cadence; at the same time, the thin hairlines and pointed details make it feel more suited to careful typography than rough reproduction.
