A delicate italic serif with sharply tapered entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are compact and rhythmically slanted, with crisp, triangular serifs and wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, pointed finish. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and shoulders stay clean and narrow, producing an overall nimble texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with graceful curves and small finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined headlines. It can also support formal invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-end tone—preferably at moderate to larger sizes where its fine details and sharp terminals remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—polished and traditional, with a hint of calligraphic flair. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant add a sense of speed and sophistication, suited to elegant, editorial settings rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, refined italic with strong contrast and crisp finishing, balancing traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, energetic slant for expressive emphasis in sophisticated typography.
In paragraph setting the strong diagonal stress and tight shaping create a lively, slightly sparkling color, especially where pointed terminals repeat across words. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping it read as a unified style for emphasis and display within text.
