A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and clear calligraphic modulation. Stems and diagonals show pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with smooth joins and bracketed terminals that end in fine points. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderately wide capitals, compact lowercase, and a slightly lively, slanted texture that tightens spacing visually. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with curved forms and delicate finishing strokes that keep the line light and crisp.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and refined headline work where the italic tone can carry emphasis with sophistication. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes where a classic serif italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a poised, old-world elegance suited to formal communication. Its italic movement reads expressive without becoming decorative, lending a confident, cultured voice to text.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif voice in an italic style, balancing readability with elegant contrast and a controlled, calligraphic finish. The intent appears to be a versatile, traditional italic for continuous reading and formal emphasis within text.
The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified forward motion. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) show smooth, even bowing and fine entry/exit strokes, while the caps maintain a stately presence that pairs well with the more fluid lowercase.
