A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the strokes a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed with sharp, tapered terminals, and the overall silhouette feels compact with a relatively short x-height against tall ascenders and descenders. Letterforms show a lively diagonal stress and slightly varied widths from glyph to glyph, while counters stay crisp and open enough for display text. The figures appear as oldstyle forms, with varied heights and elegant curves that match the italic flow.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at moderate-to-large sizes. It also fits book-cover titling, magazine-style editorial typography, and formal pieces such as invitations or announcements that benefit from a classic, literary voice.
The font conveys a polished, bookish sophistication with an editorial, old-world tone. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics create a sense of motion and formality that reads as refined and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented italic with strong contrast and graceful movement, prioritizing elegance and expressive typographic color for editorial and display use.
In the sample text, the contrast and angled stress become more pronounced at larger sizes, where the delicate hairlines and tapered joins add sparkle. The italic slant is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a cohesive, continuous texture suited to expressive settings.
