A high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered stems, sharp entry strokes, and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The curves are smooth and slightly elongated, with a forward slant and crisp terminals that create a clean, glossy texture in text. Capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement—noticeable in the angled shoulders and the sweeping descenders. Numerals and punctuation match the italic cadence, keeping a consistent, polished rhythm across mixed content.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, book titling, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing formality. It also works for elegant headlines and short-to-medium passages in print or high-resolution digital contexts, and for upscale stationery where a classic italic serif can add emphasis and tone.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, balancing formal tradition with a hint of flourish. It reads as confident and refined rather than playful, with an editorial sophistication that suits premium, carefully composed typography.
Designed to provide a traditional italic companion with pronounced contrast and crisp serifs, delivering emphasis that feels literary and premium. The intention appears to prioritize elegant line rhythm and refined detail for display and editorial typography.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, especially in round letters and diagonals, giving the face a bright, airy color at larger sizes and a distinctly italic sparkle. The spacing appears moderate, helping the letterforms stay clear while maintaining a continuous cursive flow in words and lines.
