A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes, delicate hairline serifs, and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms show calligraphic modulation, with thin entry and exit strokes and slightly flared terminals that keep curves lively without becoming ornamental. Capitals are tall and restrained, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable rhythm; descenders are moderately long and add grace to the texture. Numerals match the italic flow with similarly tapered terminals and a poised, editorial feel.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is needed. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and can support premium branding when used for headlines, logotypes, or short elegant lines of text.
The font conveys a cultivated, literary tone—polished and traditional, with an understated sense of luxury. Its italic energy feels expressive yet controlled, suggesting formality and confidence rather than playfulness.
Designed to provide a classical italic companion with strong contrast and a smooth, calligraphic cadence, aiming for elegance in both display settings and carefully set reading text. The emphasis appears to be on traditional proportions, crisp detailing, and a graceful flow across words and lines.
In continuous text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a bright, airy color and a crisp line texture, especially at larger sizes. Curves and joins stay clean and disciplined, and the overall spacing reads as carefully balanced for italic text rather than aggressively condensed or wide.
