A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered serifs and strongly modulated strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm. The capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, with sharp terminals and clean entry strokes, while the lowercase shows a calligraphic flow with pronounced joins, teardrop-like details, and energetic curves. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, counters are open, and the overall texture on the line is bright and articulated rather than heavy or dense. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, with clear, traditional shapes that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an articulate italic voice is useful. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic, formal tone and sharp, high-contrast detail.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition, taste, and a measured sense of formality. Its pronounced italic movement gives it a persuasive, expressive character suited to emphasis, quotation, and elegant voice without becoming ornamental.
Designed to provide a traditional, expressive italic for text and display settings, emphasizing elegance, clarity, and typographic color through strong stroke modulation and crisp serif detailing.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp serifs make the letterforms feel crisp at display sizes, while the consistent slant and smooth curves maintain continuity across long phrases. The italic construction reads as a true italic with distinctive forms rather than a simple slanted roman, reinforcing a classic editorial personality.
