A serif italic with slender proportions and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a clear diagonal stress and a lively calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and gently flared entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the stroke modulation stays controlled, giving the letters a clean, polished texture in continuous text. Uppercase shapes feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a smooth slant and consistent baseline flow.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display lines. It can also serve in refined branding, cultural communications, and invitation-style materials where a classical serif tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, evoking bookish, traditional typography with a hint of fashionable sophistication. Its italic voice reads as expressive rather than showy, suitable for conveying nuance, emphasis, and a refined narrative mood.
Designed to deliver a traditional italic serif with a refined, literary character, balancing crisp detail with a steady text rhythm. The intention appears focused on elegant readability and expressive emphasis without sacrificing typographic discipline.
Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style spirit as the letters, with graceful curves and slender joints that keep the set cohesive. The italics are smooth and continuous, producing an even color that favors comfortable reading when given adequate size and leading.
