A high-contrast italic serif with smooth, flowing outlines and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a gently modulated stroke that suggests a broad-nib influence, while counters remain open enough for comfortable reading. Proportions feel classical and balanced, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a consistent rightward slant that creates a steady, elegant rhythm across words.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and long-form articles where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotes, and citations. It also fits invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone, and works effectively for pull quotes and headings when set with ample spacing.
This typeface conveys a refined, literary tone with an understated elegance. The slanted, calligraphic energy adds a hint of warmth and motion, making it feel cultured and slightly traditional rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that adds emphasis without sacrificing composure. Its contrast and tapered details aim to deliver a traditional, polished voice suitable for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
The sample text shows a smooth word texture with clear italic rhythm; capitals remain stately while lowercase forms feel more cursive and lively. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slant, integrating cleanly with running text.
