A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, sculpted curves, and tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharply cut, with thin hairlines contrasting strongly against weightier main strokes. The letterforms feel generously proportioned with open counters and a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm; joins and curves are smooth and continuous, giving text a flowing texture. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with rounded forms and elegant stroke modulation that matches the capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined headlines. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, subheads, and display settings where its crisp contrast and flowing rhythm can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish elegance and editorial authority. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and forward momentum, suitable for expressive emphasis without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading voice with an elevated, italic-led elegance. The goal appears to balance classic text-serif familiarity with a more spirited, calligraphic motion for stylish emphasis in editorial contexts.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with distinctive, gently swashed-like entry/exit strokes on several lowercase forms and a notably graceful, looping feel in letters such as a, g, and y. Sharp, clean apexes and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size or print resolution to preserve delicate details.
