A crisp italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp, tapered serifs. The letterforms lean decisively with a lively, calligraphic axis, pairing hairline entry/exit strokes with firmer main stems. Capitals are narrow and poised, with long, clean diagonals in forms like V, W, and X; curves resolve into fine terminals that keep the texture light and open. Lowercase shows a compact, editorial rhythm, with single-storey a and g, a long rightward-leaning f, and a softly descending y; counters remain clear despite the delicate hairlines. Numerals are similarly slanted and refined, with old-style softness in their curves and thin cross-strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and literary quotations—especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, captions, or refined display. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and boutique packaging where a polished, classical impression is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, evoking bookish elegance and classic publishing. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics read as expressive rather than casual, suggesting formality, ceremony, and a touch of romance.
Designed to provide a graceful italic with strong contrast and sharp detailing, prioritizing elegance and expressive movement over blunt robustness. The construction aims for a traditional, print-oriented feel with clear word rhythm and refined finishing.
At text sizes the contrast creates a sparkling page color with distinct word shapes, while the narrow proportions and angled stress help lines feel quick and forward-moving. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving a cohesive, editorial voice.
