A high-contrast italic serif with a flowing, calligraphic construction and clear diagonal stress. The letterforms show sharp, tapered entry and exit strokes, bracketed serifs, and a lively rhythm driven by angled stems and pronounced curves. Uppercase forms feel formal and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, while the lowercase has a supple, pen-like movement and compact bowls that keep texture even in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with open forms and delicate hairlines that read best when given adequate size and breathing room.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired as a primary tone. It can also support elegant invitations, packaging, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, refined serif presence, particularly at medium to larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and upscale editorial styling. Its italic energy feels expressive rather than dramatic, giving text a poised, cultured voice suited to refined messaging and traditional sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional italic with strong calligraphic cues, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a cultivated reading texture. It aims to provide a refined serif voice for sophisticated typography in both display moments and carefully set text.
The design balances sharpness and softness: pointed apexes and fine hairlines contrast with rounded counters and gently bracketed serifs. In longer samples the spacing and slant create a smooth forward motion, producing a cohesive, elegant word shape without looking overly ornate.
