A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapering strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like entries and exits that reinforce a calligraphic, forward-leaning rhythm. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow with clean, decisive terminals, while the lowercase shows a flowing cursive construction with angled stress and compact, energetic joins. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing straight and curved forms with strong contrast and a refined, editorial finish.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong refinement. It also fits formal invitations and premium branding when used in headlines, subheads, or short, display-oriented passages where its contrast and detailing can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking classic book typography and upscale editorial design. Its dramatic contrast and italic stance feel expressive and cultured, suggesting sophistication rather than neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a calligraphic edge, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, expressive texture.
Curves are taut and controlled, with pointed beaks and tapered ends that give letters a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The glyphs maintain a consistent slant and stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture in continuous text.
