A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast stroke modulation and tapered, calligraphy-influenced terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a lively diagonal stress that gives rounds and bowls a graceful pull. Capitals are narrow and poised with sharp beak-like details, while the lowercase shows fluid entry/exit strokes, a single-storey italic a, and a distinctly cursive rhythm. Figures are similarly tilted and delicate, with open counters and thin hairlines that emphasize an airy, polished texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an expressive italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, luxury branding, pull quotes, and headlines, especially when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, combining a traditional bookish feel with a fashionable, modern elegance. Its motion and sharp detailing read as sophisticated rather than casual, suggesting a voice suited to premium editorial and literary settings.
Designed to deliver a refined italic serif with strong calligraphic movement and clear contrast, offering a premium, expressive alternative to a plain text italic. The forms prioritize elegance and rhythm, aiming to elevate both display lines and carefully set reading text.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the thin hairlines from clogging, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals. The ampersand is ornate and more script-like than the surrounding letterforms, adding a decorative accent in display use.
