A slanted serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often ending in sharp, hairline terminals, while stems remain clean and relatively straight, creating a poised, editorial rhythm. Counters are open and oval, curves are smoothly drawn, and the overall texture is airy, with narrow joins and delicate detailing that stays consistent from capitals through figures.
Well suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and headline settings where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve as a complementary italic in book or long-form typography, and it works naturally for formal stationery, invitations, and premium brand materials that benefit from high-contrast refinement.
The design conveys an elegant, cultured tone associated with books, magazine typography, and formal correspondence. Its italic motion adds a sense of pace and sophistication, balancing tradition with a polished, contemporary sharpness.
Likely intended as a classic text-italic interpretation that prioritizes grace, contrast, and typographic color over robustness. The design aims to provide a sophisticated, readable italic with a distinctly literary and editorial character.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase shows graceful, flowing joins and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with clear contrast and refined finishing that suits text and display settings where a stylish slant is desired.
