A slanted serif with delicate, bracketed serifs and clearly modulated strokes that taper into pointed terminals. Curves are generous and open, with an elegant, slightly calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigid mechanical construction. Proportions feel traditional and compact in the lowercase, with a noticeably shorter x-height and ascending strokes that stand out cleanly. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and angled stress, giving the set a consistent, bookish texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—book typography, magazine features, forewords, pull quotes, and refined titling. It can also support formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially where a traditional serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a poised, classical elegance that reads as formal without feeling stiff. Its slant and tapered finishes add a graceful, handwritten inflection, lending warmth and sophistication to longer passages.
Designed to provide a polished, conventional serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic slant and tapered detailing, aiming for comfortable reading texture and a classic page color. The forms suggest an intention to balance tradition with a lively, expressive rhythm for editorial use.
Capitals show restrained flair—wide bowls and sweeping diagonals—while the lowercase keeps a steady cadence with neatly shaped counters. The ampersand is expressive and decorative, reinforcing the font’s editorial and traditional character.
