A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a calligraphic flow. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals and a pronounced diagonal axis in rounded forms. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing reads even in text, while the varying stroke modulation and angled joins create an energetic rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form typography where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, and subheads. It also works effectively for literary or institutional titles, refined packaging copy, and any setting that benefits from traditional serif elegance with visible stroke contrast.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography, academia, and editorial polish. Its lively italics add elegance and motion without becoming decorative, conveying a composed, literary seriousness.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that reads smoothly while delivering clear typographic hierarchy and a classical tone. The strong modulation and crisp terminals suggest an intention to echo broad-nib or engraving-inspired italics in a practical, publication-ready form.
Capitals maintain a dignified, slightly formal presence with narrow internal apertures and clean, sharp finishing. Lowercase shows strongly italicized construction with compact counters and graceful curves, and the numerals match the same contrast and slanted temperament for coherent inline setting.
