A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and crisp, tapering strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with a consistent rightward slant and lively entry/exit terminals that suggest a calligraphic pen influence. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in rhythm, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open, well-defined counters; capitals are stately and clean while lowercase forms show more motion and curvature.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic tone. It also works effectively in headings, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, cultured serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and formality. Its energetic italic flow adds elegance and a slightly dramatic emphasis, suited to sophisticated editorial and cultural contexts rather than utilitarian signage.
Designed to deliver a traditional italic text serif with clear contrast and a graceful, calligraphic rhythm. The intention reads as providing a polished, conventional serif style that feels at home in long-form and editorial settings while remaining expressive enough for display moments.
Spacing appears even and controlled for an italic, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, giving dates and figures a polished, classical flavor. Curved letters show smooth, continuous modulation, and sharp joins (notably in diagonals) stay crisp without looking brittle.
