A high-contrast italic serif with slender proportions and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show clear stress and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and thin hairlines that sharpen into pointed entry and exit strokes. Curves are clean and open, counters are moderately sized, and spacing feels slightly elastic, giving lines a flowing texture rather than a rigid, monoline cadence. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction with crisp joins and delicate thin strokes.
Works well for long-form editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic is needed for emphasis with a traditional feel. It also suits pull quotes, captions, and formal stationery applications that benefit from crisp high contrast and a graceful slanted rhythm.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with an added sense of motion from the italic slant. It reads as formal and refined, suitable for sophisticated, text-forward design where a classic voice is desired.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic with heightened contrast and carefully sharpened terminals, balancing classic serif structure with a more calligraphic, expressive texture. The overall construction prioritizes elegance and text-like rhythm over geometric neutrality.
The italic angle is prominent without becoming overly flamboyant, and the contrast between thick stems and hairlines is strong, creating a bright, shimmering page color at larger sizes. Stroke endings often resolve to fine points, which enhances elegance but can make very small sizes feel more delicate in low-resolution settings.
