A slanted serif with crisp, tapered terminals and moderately sharp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear contrast and calligraphic influence, with flowing diagonals and gently swelling curves that create an elegant, continuous texture in text. Proportions are balanced and conventional, with open counters and a smooth, even cadence that stays readable while retaining a lively italic sparkle.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits invitations, programs, and branding that calls for a classic, cultivated feel, and works for pull quotes or headings when a refined, traditional tone is desired.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a sense of refinement and discretion. Its italic rhythm feels cultured and slightly formal, suggesting tradition and editorial polish rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif voice with an italic that feels genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted. It aims to balance readability with an expressive, graceful motion suitable for emphasis and extended passages.
The uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase shows more cursive energy, giving the overall system a clear hierarchy between display-like capitals and text-friendly lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed styling, maintaining consistency in mixed text and figures.
