A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stems and fine hairlines, giving the letterforms a light, crisp finish. Serifs are bracketed and subtly wedge-like, and the overall construction feels calligraphic, with diagonal stress and a lively forward slant. Proportions are balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the rhythm alternates between sturdy thick strokes and delicate connecting details. Numerals and capitals maintain a stately presence while staying consistent with the italic flow.
Performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed. It also suits formal stationery, invitations, and brand systems that want a classic, cultivated tone, especially at display sizes or in short-to-medium passages.
The font conveys a traditional, literary elegance—polished and expressive without becoming ornate. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement suggest formality and sophistication, suited to refined communication and classic editorial tone.
Designed to provide a sophisticated italic companion for conventional serif typography, combining classical proportions with a vivid contrast profile. The intention appears focused on delivering an expressive, premium texture for editorial and formal applications while keeping the shapes disciplined and legible.
Curves and joins are drawn with a slightly sharpened, pen-influenced logic, producing crisp terminals and a poised texture in text. The sample paragraph shows a smooth reading line with noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes, especially at larger sizes.
