A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller curved strokes, showing a steady, slightly right-leaning rhythm. Serifs are narrow and bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals and a pronounced calligraphic influence in the entry and exit strokes. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while letterforms show noticeable width variation and lively modulation, especially in rounded characters and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts, particularly for italics in continuous text, leads, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for refined headlines where a classic italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish, editorial typography with a composed, cultured voice. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, balancing formality with a subtle sense of motion.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with clear contrast and a graceful, calligraphic slant, aiming for a sophisticated reading texture and credible, classic typography.
Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence due to the italic slant and tight serif treatment, while lowercase forms keep a smooth, continuous flow. Numerals match the texty character with strong contrast and elegant curves, aligning well with the overall italic texture.
