A high-contrast serif italic with slender hairlines and more substantial main strokes, creating a crisp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals that reinforce an engraved, calligraphic feel. The italic construction is clearly cursive in rhythm, with a consistent rightward slant and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms show a gently varied set width across the alphabet, giving words a natural, non-mechanical cadence while keeping overall proportions comfortably text-oriented.
Well-suited for book typography and magazine editorial work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where its high-contrast structure and graceful movement can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting refinement and a slightly formal voice without feeling stiff. The strong contrast and flowing italic movement suggest literary sophistication and a traditional print sensibility, suitable for expressive emphasis rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-informed character. The intent appears to balance traditional bookish credibility with a more expressive, elegant line, offering an italic that feels purposeful and decorative while remaining compatible with extended text settings.
In text, the spacing reads open enough for continuous setting, while the contrast and delicate joins make it feel best at moderate sizes and above. Numerals and capitals follow the same italic logic, maintaining a cohesive slanted rhythm and a consistent, elegant sparkle across lines.
