A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with hairline horizontals and stronger verticals creating a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with calligraphic stress, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmically cursive, featuring a single-storey italic “a” and a flowing “f” with a long descender. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and thin terminals that reinforce the refined, traditional construction.
Well suited for book and magazine italics, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for refined editorial headlines, literary titles, and formal communications where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its crisp contrast and swift cursive movement add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward formal elegance than casual warmth.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for text settings, prioritizing graceful motion, classic serif detailing, and a polished editorial feel.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and pointed terminals for its personality, producing a bright, lively color at display and comfortable reading sizes when printed or rendered with sufficient resolution. The italic forms feel cohesive rather than merely slanted, with consistent calligraphic stress and controlled curves throughout.
