A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry and exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic influence. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in stance, while the lowercase shows lively shapes, including looped and occasionally swashed forms, and a single-story italic “a.” Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and distinctive curved terminals, adding a classic, bookish rhythm to text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book typography, magazines, and long-form quotations where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for formal invitations, certificates, and refined branding when set at display or subhead sizes, especially where its high-contrast details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and polished, evoking traditional print typography and editorial refinement. Its flowing italic motion adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for contexts that benefit from a cultured, established voice.
Designed to provide a classic, conventional serif italic with a calligraphic edge—expressive enough to stand out in headings and quotes, yet disciplined enough to sit comfortably in traditional text environments.
Curves and terminals are actively shaped—noticeable in letters like Q, g, and y—giving the face a decorative sparkle without becoming ornate. The contrast and sharp joins create crisp texture at larger sizes, while the italic cursive construction keeps lines moving smoothly.
