A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a pointed-pen influence. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, with narrow apertures and brisk entry/exit strokes that create a lively forward rhythm. Uppercase forms feel slightly compact and sculpted, while the lowercase is more fluid, with long, angled terminals and a gently slanted axis. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with delicate hairlines and crisp, angled finishing strokes.
This font suits editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined branding where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works well for short-to-medium text passages in high-quality print or on-screen contexts where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and fashion/editorial styling. Its sweeping italics and crisp serifs add drama and sophistication, giving text a cultivated, high-end feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, prestige serif voice in an italic-forward, calligraphic idiom—balancing classical proportions with sharp contrast and energetic terminals to add emphasis and elegance in display and editorial settings.
The italic slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the letterforms keep a relatively tight, energetic spacing that emphasizes motion. Hairlines get very fine in places, so the design reads most confidently when it has enough size and reproduction quality to preserve the thin strokes.
