A high-contrast serif italic with tapered, calligraphic strokes and sharply defined bracketed serifs. The italic angle is pronounced, with flowing entry/exit strokes that create a lively baseline rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved joins and swashed-like descenders. Counters are relatively open for an italic, and the overall texture alternates between thick vertical stresses and hairline connectors, producing a refined, sparkling color in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also serve refined branding and formal materials such as invitations or packaging that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif voice.
The font reads as traditional and cultured, evoking bookish elegance and old-style formality. Its energetic italic motion adds a confident, expressive tone, suitable for emphasis without feeling ornamental or playful. The sharp contrast and crisp serifs lend a polished, authoritative voice.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic and high contrast, balancing tradition with expressive movement for refined text and emphasis setting.
Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast, with old-style influence in the shapes and a noticeably calligraphic flow. The sample text shows strong word-shape definition, though the thin hairlines and tight curves create a more delicate feel at smaller sizes.
