A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic impulse: strokes taper into fine hairlines, terminals often end in sharp points, and curves maintain a smooth, controlled sweep. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow with ample internal whitespace, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, elegant extenders. Spacing appears measured and even in text, creating a steady rhythm without looking rigid.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed, as well as magazine features and refined brand collateral. It can also serve effectively for invitations, certificates, or quoted emphasis, and it scales nicely into display sizes for sophisticated headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as literary and formal. Its strong contrast and italic movement give it a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suggesting tradition rather than experimentation.
Designed to deliver a conventional, high-contrast italic serif optimized for readable text while retaining a distinctly calligraphic elegance. The intent appears to balance traditional forms and consistent rhythm with sharper, more expressive terminals for a polished editorial presence.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the figures follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic as the letters. The texture in paragraph setting stays lively due to the contrast and pointed joins, but remains coherent and text-oriented.
