A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, right-leaning slant. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with crisp entry/exit strokes that create a clean, engraved feel rather than a soft brush texture. The lowercase shows a fluid cursive structure with compact bowls and tapered joins, while capitals are more stately and slightly narrower in feel, maintaining consistent contrast and a controlled rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with angled forms and pointed terminals that keep the texture bright and dynamic in lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and refined articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It also works effectively for short headlines and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, high-contrast italic presence.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting sophistication and tradition. Its energetic italic motion reads as expressive and cultivated, suited to contexts that want emphasis without becoming decorative or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a refined, high-contrast palette—providing an authoritative, elegant italic companion for reading-oriented settings while remaining crisp and controlled in continuous text.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp terminals produce a sparkling texture and clear word shapes, while the italic slant and tapered strokes add momentum. The design balances calligraphic influences with a disciplined, editorial structure, keeping characters cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
