A crisp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic slant. Serifs read as fine, wedge-like and lightly bracketed, with sharp terminals and tapered joins that keep the color airy. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in proportion despite the italic angle, while lowercase shows lively movement with single-storey forms and gently looped descenders. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, polished rhythm suited to continuous reading at display-to-text crossover sizes.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or section openers. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and titling in cultural or academic materials, and can add a formal touch to invitations or announcements when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a poised, literary feel. Its brisk italic angle and high-contrast strokes add a sense of sophistication and formality, making it feel at home in classic editorial and bookish contexts.
Designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic with a clear calligraphic origin, balancing refined details with legibility. The intent appears to be an expressive companion for sophisticated text and editorial settings, offering an elevated tone without sacrificing typographic discipline.
The italics lean is steady and the stroke endings are clean and pointed, giving the face a slightly dramatic, fashion-adjacent edge without becoming ornamental. Spacing appears measured and even in the sample text, supporting smooth word shapes and a refined line texture.
