A high-contrast serif italic with a fluid, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm. Italic forms show clear forward slant, with narrow joins and gently swelling curves; counters stay open and the overall color remains bright and airy despite strong contrast. Numerals appear similarly modulated, with delicate hairlines and distinctive angled strokes that read as formal rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form passages where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductory matter. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and cultural institutions where a classic, formal tone is desired.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic sophistication. Its sweeping italic movement and crisp hairlines convey refinement and a sense of tradition, suitable for expressive emphasis without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic for comfortable reading and elegant emphasis, combining classical serif structure with a lively, pen-influenced slant and crisp finishing details.
Spacing and rhythm feel deliberately paced for text, with graceful diagonals in capitals and a consistent italic cadence across lowercase. The design favors sharp detail—especially in hairline serifs and terminals—so it benefits from sufficient size and printing/display conditions that preserve fine strokes.
