This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that feel drawn with a broad, controlled stroke. The letterforms lean steadily with a lively rhythm, combining compact curves with sharp joinery and occasional spur-like details. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more fluid, with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and an energetic “f” that dips below the baseline. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic logic, mixing delicate hairlines with strong main strokes for a crisp, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with authority and finesse. It also works effectively for formal invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif character.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic editorial polish. Its lively italic motion adds sophistication and a hint of drama, making it feel poised, cultivated, and suited to traditional typographic settings rather than utilitarian UI work.
The font appears designed as a conventional italic with elevated contrast and calligraphic detailing, aiming to provide a graceful, articulate reading texture and a polished display presence within traditional serif typography.
The design relies on sharp finishing and tight stroke modulation, so spacing and counters read cleanly at display and text sizes where the hairlines remain visible. The italic construction is consistent across cases, giving paragraphs a continuous forward pull and a distinctly formal cadence.
