A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Stems and terminals taper and flare into wedge-like, softly bracketed serif endings, giving the outlines a sculpted, ink-driven feel rather than a rigid mechanical one. Curves are generous and continuous, with sharp, thin hairlines and darker entry/exit strokes that create a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height, and the numerals and capitals carry the same crisp contrast and tapered finishing throughout.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, pull quotes, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a refined, classical tone, especially for short to medium-length settings.
The font reads as cultured and energetic, combining traditional bookish refinement with a spirited italic movement. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing add a sense of sophistication and formality, while the lively slant keeps it expressive and engaging.
The design appears intended to provide a polished, literary italic with strong calligraphic influence—delivering high contrast, tapered flare details, and a smooth reading rhythm for sophisticated display and editorial use.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a sparkling page color that feels best when given adequate size and breathing room. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs maintain a coherent, elegant cadence.
