A high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines and tapered, moderately weighted stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and pointed, with a distinctly calligraphic flow through the curves and joins. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and a gently rightward slant. Numerals and capitals maintain a crisp, editorial rhythm, with smooth, continuous curves and carefully sharpened terminals that keep the texture light and open.
Well-suited to long-form reading in print-oriented contexts such as books, magazines, and literary layouts, where its refined italic texture can carry paragraphs gracefully. It also works effectively for pull quotes, epigraphs, invitations, and other formal communications that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—graceful and cultivated rather than emphatic. Its italic movement and sharp detailing suggest formality and tradition, lending a sense of sophistication and quiet authority to text.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an elegant italic voice, balancing traditional forms with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. The intent appears to be a refined text face that remains readable while adding sophistication through high-contrast detailing and carefully shaped serifs.
The italic is expressive without becoming swashy: strokes end in clean, pointed terminals and the overall spacing feels even, producing a consistent color in paragraphs. The letterforms favor slender proportions and fine details, making it feel best where printing or rendering can preserve delicate hairlines.
