A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller, tapered strokes, showing clear calligraphic modulation. The serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals and a pronounced rightward slant that gives the forms a flowing rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderately narrow capitals, an even, readable lowercase with distinct ascenders/descenders, and numerals that match the text color without becoming ornamental. Overall spacing and stroke economy create a light, crisp texture that stays coherent across letters and figures.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—book and magazine italics, pull quotes, introductions, and classical-looking headings. It can also serve refined branding and formal stationery when you want a traditional, high-contrast serif impression.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with a formal, literary feel reminiscent of traditional book typography. Its contrast and italic movement add a touch of drama and sophistication, reading as polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, text-oriented italic with strong calligraphic character and high contrast, functioning as a sophisticated companion for long-form reading and elegant display accents.
The italic construction is noticeably cursive in the lowercase (single-storey forms and flowing joins implied by stroke direction), while the capitals remain more stately and inscriptional in presence. The overall color is bright with sparkling highlights from the hairlines, suggesting it will look best when given sufficient size or print quality to preserve fine details.
