A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller stressed strokes, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and keen, with pointed terminals and subtly flared finishing strokes that emphasize forward motion. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable build with a gently modulated x-height and distinctive italic cursive shapes; counters stay open and the overall spacing reads even in text. Numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italics carry voice—book interiors, longform articles, pull quotes, and captions. It also works for tasteful branding and printed materials that benefit from a classic, cultured feel, such as invitations, programs, and packaging accents.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—polished and expressive without becoming ornamental. Its italic energy feels traditional and editorial, suggesting sophistication and a sense of crafted typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a strong calligraphic underpinning, aiming to combine elegance and readability. Its crisp contrast and poised proportions suggest use as an accompanying italic for text settings, while remaining attractive for short display lines.
The design maintains consistent stroke modulation across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a smooth diagonal flow. Delicate hairlines and sharp joins add sparkle at display sizes, while the clear silhouettes and open counters support continuous reading when set with adequate size and line spacing.
