A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic stress and crisp hairlines. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharply finished, while the main strokes show pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a bright, rhythmic texture. The capitals are slightly narrow with sweeping diagonals and tapered terminals; the lowercase has fluid joins and noticeable entry/exit strokes, giving it a continuous forward motion. Figures follow the same italic logic with curved forms and distinct stroke modulation, producing an overall refined, print-like color.
Well-suited to editorial and literary settings such as book typography, magazines, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or titles. It can also support formal branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a refined, traditional italic with strong contrast and graceful movement.
The font projects a classic, cultivated tone associated with editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its energetic slant and sharp contrast feel expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting sophistication and tradition rather than casualness.
Designed to provide a polished italic companion with unmistakable serif structure and calligraphic energy. The intention appears to balance classical proportions with expressive stroke modulation, creating an italic that can function both for extended text and for elegant display moments.
In the sample text, the italic angle and contrast remain consistent across long lines, yielding a smooth reading rhythm while still drawing attention at display sizes. The letterforms show careful balance between crisp detailing (hairlines and serifs) and generous curves, which helps maintain clarity in mixed-case settings.
