A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and crisp, tapered entry/exit strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm and diagonal stress that shows through in rounded forms. Proportions feel moderately narrow with lively, variable letter widths and generous sidebearings, giving lines an open, airy texture. Ascenders and descenders run long and fluid, while capitals remain formal and upright in structure but clearly slanted, with clean, sculpted curves.
Well-suited to editorial and book settings where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, lead-ins, or extended passages. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitations where a classical, polished tone is desired, and works effectively for pull quotes and display lines at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its sharp terminals and flowing italic motion add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming ornate.
Designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a smooth reading rhythm and a distinctly formal presence. The intent appears to balance classical serif conventions with calligraphic energy for expressive but controlled typography.
The lowercase shows pronounced italic construction with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a gently cursive flow, while figures lean with the same rhythm and contrast, keeping text and numerals visually consistent.
