A refined italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals, thin hairlines, and fuller curved strokes. Proportions are balanced for text use: capitals are dignified and relatively narrow, while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable structure with moderate ascenders/descenders and a smooth baseline flow. Numerals follow the same italic logic with elegant curves and delicate thin strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titling. It can also serve formal materials like invitations and programs, and works nicely for refined pull quotes and intro lines when set at sizes that preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its high-contrast, flowing italic gives a sense of sophistication and formality, suitable for conveying authority and taste.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a smooth reading rhythm. Its forms aim to echo traditional calligraphic influence while remaining structured enough for continuous text and polished publishing layouts.
The design favors graceful curves and pointed joins, with open counters and carefully shaped bowls that keep paragraphs looking airy despite the fine hairlines. In longer text, the italic angle and contrast create a lively texture that reads best with comfortable size and spacing, where the thin strokes can remain clear.
