A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, fuller stressed strokes, and clearly bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing energetic entry and exit strokes and subtle swelling through curves. Uppercase forms are compact and dignified, while the lowercase is more fluid, with rounded bowls and narrow joins that create a lively texture in text. Figures follow the same italic motion, with curved strokes and delicate finishing details that keep the set visually consistent.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined display settings where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can work for book and magazine titling, formal stationery, and brand wordmarks that benefit from classic serif mannerisms and a lively slanted rhythm.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly literary elegance. Its pronounced italic slant and crisp contrast give it a sense of movement and sophistication, suggesting formality without feeling stiff.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with an expressive italic character, emphasizing contrast, grace, and a flowing reading rhythm for elevated typography.
In longer samples the strong diagonal cadence is prominent, and the contrast produces a bright, sparkling page color. The design reads best when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines and tapered serifs to remain clear.
