A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller, rounded main strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and lightly cupped, giving terminals a polished, engraved feel rather than blunt cuts. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a clear rightward momentum; counters remain open and well-shaped despite the contrast. Proportions feel moderately narrow in the capitals with lively, slightly varied glyph widths, while numerals and lowercase maintain a steady text rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits refined display applications—such as literary titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where high contrast and a classical italic flavor enhance the message.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, evoking classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its sharp contrasts and graceful slant communicate formality and poise, with a subtle handwritten inflection that adds warmth without becoming casual.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion with strong typographic color and clear, traditional serif detailing. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and readability at text sizes while retaining enough contrast and movement to perform as a distinctive, elevated accent in display settings.
The capitals read as stately and structured, while the lowercase is more dynamic, with a distinctly cursive italic construction in letters like a, f, and y. The numerals follow the same high-contrast, serifed logic and appear suited to running text rather than utilitarian tabular settings.
