A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp hairlines against stronger main strokes. Serifs are tapered and sharp, with bracketed joins that keep the forms fluid rather than rigid. The rhythm is lively and slightly springy, with narrow internal counters in places and a clear diagonal stress that shows in round letters and numerals. Lowercase forms lean toward oldstyle behavior, pairing an italic ‘a’ and ‘f’ with expressive terminals and a compact, flowing texture in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is used for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It can also serve in refined branding applications—publisher marks, cultural institutions, invitations, and packaging—where a traditional serif italic feel supports credibility and elegance. For best results, it will shine at text to display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs have enough room to breathe.
This typeface conveys a literary, cultivated tone with a gently formal voice. The italic movement and refined contrast suggest elegance and tradition rather than utility or blunt modernity. Overall it feels suited to classic, editorial communication where a bit of grace and texture is welcome.
The design appears intended for comfortable, continuous reading with an added layer of sophistication from the italic construction. Its contrast and tapered details aim to deliver a polished page color, while the energetic slant and expressive terminals provide emphasis and tonal nuance in running text.
Capitals are relatively upright in presence but still carry the italic sweep, pairing neatly with the more animated lowercase. Numerals show classic, slightly calligraphic shaping that matches the overall diagonal stress and tapering terminals, keeping figures harmonious within text.
