A slanted serif with sharp, finely tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with a slightly calligraphic feel where terminals often finish in small hooks or teardrop-like shapes. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in structure but strongly inclined overall, while lowercase forms show flowing joins and lively entry/exit strokes. The numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, with elegant, oldstyle-like movement and delicate finishing details.
Well suited to editorial settings such as pull quotes, intros, and headlines, as well as book typography where an expressive italic voice is needed. It can also support formal branding, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a refined, classic tone.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with an expressive, handwritten undercurrent. Its italic rhythm feels energetic yet composed, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than casualness.
Designed to provide a conventional serif reading voice in a distinctly italic, high-contrast manner, combining traditional proportions with graceful, calligraphic finishing. The intention appears to be an elegant italic that carries emphasis and personality while remaining credible for serious editorial use.
The face maintains a consistent diagonal stress and a bright, crisp silhouette, but the fine hairlines and sharp terminals make it feel more at home at text and display sizes where print or rendering quality is controlled. The sample text shows a smooth, continuous texture with clear word shapes and a slightly dramatic italic color.
