A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and strongly tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals and a flowing, right-leaning rhythm that gives lines of text a continuous, cursive energy without becoming script-like. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly variable letter widths that create a natural, hand-influenced texture. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with curved bowls and crisp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any context where an italic voice is used for emphasis or a refined tone. It can also work for invitations, cultural branding, and elegant headings where its high contrast and calligraphic movement are allowed to be seen.
The overall tone is classical and literary, combining elegance with a warm, human touch. Its italic movement reads expressive and slightly dramatic, suited to refined editorial voice rather than neutral utility.
Designed to deliver a traditional italic with visible calligraphic influence—prioritizing expressive rhythm, refined contrast, and a classic reading texture for sophisticated typography.
Diagonal stress and tapered joins show up consistently across rounds and diagonals, producing a lively baseline rhythm. In text, the sharp, slender serifs and thin hairlines emphasize brightness and sophistication, while the open shapes keep paragraphs from feeling overly ornate.
