A high-contrast serif italic with a crisp, calligraphic skeleton and finely tapered hairlines. The forms lean with a consistent forward angle, showing smooth, bracketed serifs and frequent wedge-like terminals that sharpen the entry and exit strokes. Curves are round yet controlled, with narrow joins and delicate stress that gives bowls and counters a polished, engraved feel. Spacing reads even in text, while the capitals sit stately with slightly varied widths and carefully drawn diagonals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and sophisticated headlines, as well as book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits premium branding and formal printed materials that benefit from sharp contrast and graceful motion.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and italic energy suggest formality and poise, evoking bookish refinement and fashion-forward polish rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion with strong typographic personality: refined contrast, controlled calligraphic movement, and a clean, contemporary finish. The intention appears to balance traditional serif craft with a modern, fashion-oriented sharpness for expressive yet readable setting.
The lowercase shows a fluent rhythm with gently looping descenders and compact counters that stay open at text sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted posture, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
