A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp entry/exit terminals that give many letters a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly bulbous at joins, while diagonals and stems remain clean and disciplined, creating a refined rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast, with open counters and slender horizontals that keep the overall color bright on the page.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—book italics, pull quotes, captions, and refined magazine layouts. It also fits elegant invitations, programs, and title treatments where a classic, high-contrast italic can add emphasis and sophistication without heavy weight.
The tone is polished and literary, conveying sophistication and tradition with a light, airy sparkle. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming informal, suggesting classic bookish elegance and editorial finesse.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion that feels articulate and elevated, balancing calligraphic liveliness with controlled, text-friendly proportions. The goal appears to be a refined italic with enough character for emphasis and display, while remaining composed and legible in running settings.
Capitals have generous, sweeping forms that read well at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline and consistent spacing suitable for continuous text. The italic construction is clearly built as a true italic rather than a merely slanted roman, with distinctive cursive-influenced shapes in letters like a, f, and g.
