A sharply italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, high-contrast stroke modulation. Stems taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, and the serifs read as finely bracketed rather than blunt, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are wide and sweeping with hairline joins and pointed apexes, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and a moderate, steady x-height that keeps text color even. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted rhythm, with delicate hairlines and broad curves that feel designed for running text as much as display.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also work in branding and invitations where a refined, classic tone is desirable, and in display sizes where the high-contrast details and flared terminals can shine.
The overall tone is sophisticated and slightly dramatic, with a poised, editorial confidence. Its italic energy feels cultured and expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of tradition and polish.
The font appears intended to deliver a formal italic with calligraphic influence, balancing legibility with a luxurious, high-contrast texture. Its flared terminals and sharp hairlines suggest a goal of adding expressive movement while maintaining a disciplined, typographic rhythm.
The design relies on clean, sharp terminals and controlled spacing to maintain clarity despite the strong slant and thin hairlines. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and the round lowercase) emphasize smooth, continuous arcs, while diagonals and apexes keep the texture crisp and alert.
