A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust verticals, with an oblique stress and pointed, wedge-like terminals that keep counters open and forms lively. Proportions feel traditional and moderately compact, while curves and joins show a slightly drawn, pen-influenced modulation that adds sparkle in text. Figures match the italic rhythm, with strong thick–thin transitions and sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, titling, and pull quotes. It can also support high-end branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, polished voice, and works effectively in short passages where contrast and slant can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge typical of high-contrast italics. It suggests classic publishing and formal communication while retaining a sense of movement and flair from its calligraphic construction.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic finish, offering an elegant emphasis style that stands out without abandoning conventional serif structure.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive forward rhythm. Narrow hairlines and sharp serifs create a crisp texture that reads best when given sufficient size and breathing room, especially in dense paragraphs or low-resolution settings.
