A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and clear thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively, forward rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spaces, while lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height and crisp terminals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic stress and contrast, giving the set a cohesive, refined texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined headlines where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve branding and stationery applications that benefit from a classic, upscale tone, especially at medium to larger sizes where the contrast and tapered details are most apparent.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward traditional bookish elegance rather than display flamboyance. Its sharp, energetic italic forms add a sense of motion and emphasis, suggesting sophistication and formality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, providing a distinguished, emphatic companion for prose and titles without straying into decorative extremes.
In paragraph settings the contrast and slant produce a bright, animated color, with letterforms that read cleanly at larger sizes and remain distinctly italic even in all-caps. The design favors crisp detailing and a graceful baseline flow over a heavy, grounded presence.
