A high-contrast italic serif with a broad, open stance and crisp hairline-to-stem transitions. The design shows distinctly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a steady rightward slant, giving letters a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Round forms are smoothly drawn with sharp entry/exit points, while straight strokes stay clean and controlled, producing an overall airy texture despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined logic, with elegant curves and finely cut details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, features, and book interior display where a graceful italic voice is desired. It also fits upscale invitations, packaging accents, and brand wordmarks that benefit from refined contrast and a classical serif presence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—poised and cultivated rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and tradition, making it feel suited to premium, style-conscious settings.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with heightened elegance—prioritizing crisp contrast, smooth curvature, and a confident, spacious silhouette for expressive text setting.
Spacing appears generous, contributing to a wide, breathable color in text. The italic construction maintains clarity in continuous reading while preserving delicate detailing in joins, serifs, and terminals.
