A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition from hairline thins to strong verticals, with bracketing at key joins that keeps the forms fluid rather than rigid. Serifs read as fine wedges and flicks, and many curves finish in pointed, calligraphic tips that emphasize motion. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate caps and a normal x-height, while spacing and rhythm create a lively, slightly swashy texture in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium passages where the crisp hairlines and energetic italic rhythm can be appreciated—editorial headlines, pull quotes, book titling, and refined brand or event materials. It can also serve as an accent italic alongside a calmer roman in longer text settings, particularly at comfortable print sizes.
The overall tone is polished and expressive—formal enough for classic editorial work but with a theatrical, handwritten energy from the sharp entry/exit strokes. It suggests sophistication and tradition, leaning toward a romantic, literary mood rather than a strictly utilitarian voice.
Designed to deliver a classic serif italic with heightened contrast and calligraphic liveliness, balancing traditional readability with expressive finishing details. The intent appears to be a refined, editorial-friendly italic that adds sophistication and momentum without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals show controlled, sculpted contrast and restrained finishing strokes, while the lowercase introduces more flourish and asymmetric movement, especially in curved letters and diagonals. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with thin hairline details that visually sparkle at larger sizes.
