A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm and sharply tapered stroke endings that often flare subtly as they resolve. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant, thin hairlines, and confident, darker main strokes, producing a crisp texture with clear thick–thin modulation. Serifs are delicate and wedge-like rather than blocky, and many joins and terminals finish in pointed, blade-like shapes that keep the silhouette energetic. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate x-height, relatively tall ascenders, and flowing italics that maintain strong clarity in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, subheads, or quotations. It also performs well in refined display settings—fashion, culture, and arts branding—where a sophisticated italic can carry headlines or short statements with authority.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking editorial sophistication and a classic, literary sensibility. Its energetic italics add a sense of motion and emphasis, making the font feel expressive without becoming ornamental. The result reads as premium and polished, suitable for contexts that want elegance with a touch of drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a sharp, modern crispness: traditional proportions and serif logic combined with pointed terminals and flared finishes that heighten speed and elegance. It prioritizes expressive emphasis and premium editorial character while retaining legibility in continuous text.
Capitals are narrow and sweeping with crisp entry and exit strokes, while the lowercase maintains a consistent diagonal stress and open counters for an italic. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with sculpted curves and fine terminals that match the text color and cadence.
