A crisp italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and finely tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show a calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins, sharp apexes, and bracketed serifs that end in delicate points. Counters stay open and oval, while curves and diagonals resolve into hairline finishes that keep the overall texture light and airy. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined, slanted construction, maintaining a consistent, polished color across lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other long-form contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively in refined branding, packaging, and invitations where a classic, formal tone is desirable, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The tone is cultured and poised, evoking traditional book typography and editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic motion add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to provide a traditional italic companion with high-end refinement: strong contrast, clean serif detailing, and a fluid, calligraphic cadence for sophisticated text and emphasis settings.
The design relies on clean, confident curves and disciplined spacing, producing a smooth reading rhythm at larger sizes. The italic structure feels purposeful rather than merely oblique, with distinctive entry/exit strokes that emphasize movement and finesse.
