A slanted serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and clear vertical stress, pairing narrow joins with fuller curves for a distinctly contrasted rhythm. Serifs read as fine and sharp rather than blocky, and terminals often finish in subtle teardrops or pointed tips that reinforce a calligraphic feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, slightly irregular stroke transitions typical of italic construction, and spacing stays open enough to keep the texture bright and readable. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-style structure, with elegant curves and delicate finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography—pull quotes, subheads, and refined body settings where an italic voice is desired. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, as well as premium branding accents when used with comfortable letterspacing and sufficient size for the delicate details.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial formality. Its slanted, high-style manner feels expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting poised elegance suited to established, cultured contexts.
Designed to provide a classic, high-style italic voice with elegant contrast and sharp finishing, prioritizing grace and readability in polished typographic settings.
The italic forms show pronounced cursive cues in letters like a, f, g, and y, with smoothly flowing descenders and gently hooked terminals. The contrast and fine serifs reward adequate size and printing conditions, where the hairlines can remain clean and distinct.
