A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines. Strokes taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, with slightly calligraphic entry/exit terminals that keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Capitals are narrow and poised, while lowercase forms show flowing joins, a single-storey “g,” and looped descenders that add movement. Numerals follow the same angled stress and contrast, reading as text-oriented figures with refined curves and crisp finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titling. It can also support refined branding and formal printed materials such as invitations and announcements, especially when a classic, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a bookish, editorial character. Its italic stance and calligraphic edges bring a sense of sophistication and motion, suggesting tradition and formality without feeling overly stiff.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional italic companion with strong typographic contrast and a distinctly calligraphic finish, optimized for fluent text setting and elegant emphasis.
The design relies on fine details—hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes—so it visually rewards cleaner reproduction and moderate sizing. The spacing and proportions feel measured, giving the italic a smooth line flow in continuous text.
