A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and flowing, calligraphic construction. Hairline serifs and terminals meet thicker stems with clean, tapered joins, creating a crisp rhythm and a distinctly drawn (not mechanically slanted) feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with sharp apexes and delicate finishing strokes, while the lowercase shows fluid entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and a lively baseline movement typical of text italics. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin hairlines and graceful curves that keep the overall color light and airy in running text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading contexts where an italic is used for emphasis. It also performs nicely in refined titling, invitations, and premium branding where high-contrast detail and a classic voice are desired.
The tone is polished and literary, projecting elegance and tradition with a subtle sense of motion. Its contrast and italic cadence read as expressive yet controlled, suitable for sophisticated, editorial-minded typography rather than utilitarian UI styling.
Designed to deliver a classic text-italic voice with calligraphic energy and crisp contrast, offering emphasis and elegance without sacrificing readability. The consistent serif detailing and controlled proportions suggest an intent to pair smoothly with a traditional serif family while standing confidently on its own for display italics.
Spacing appears measured for continuous reading, with italic letterforms that maintain clarity despite thin horizontals and tight apertures in places. The overall texture stays even, while sharp serifs and fine strokes add sparkle at larger sizes.
