A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes show diagonal stress and tapered terminals, with crisp hairlines and fuller main stems. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with flowing entry/exit strokes on many lowercase letters and a compact, text-oriented proportioning. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow joins that keep the overall texture light and crisp.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book text italics, magazine features, quotations, and pull quotes where a refined, classic voice is desired. It can also serve as a primary italic in traditional serif systems for emphasis, captions, and sidebars that benefit from a crisp, high-contrast texture.
The face reads as traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and an editorial tone. Its pronounced italic movement adds a sense of dynamism and sophistication, suitable for emphatic, expressive typography without becoming ornate.
Designed to provide a classic text-serif italic with strong calligraphic cues, balancing elegance and readability while delivering clear emphasis. The construction prioritizes a refined rhythm and traditional proportions for extended reading contexts and editorial styling.
In setting, the font creates a bright page color due to thin connecting strokes and sharp serifs, while the italic forms maintain clear letter separation. The texture is rhythmic and slightly varied in width from glyph to glyph, contributing to a lively, handwritten-influenced cadence.
