A high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm and tapered strokes. Hairline joins and thin entry/exit strokes pair with fuller diagonals, creating a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals that emphasize forward motion; curves are clean and controlled, and the overall proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals and capitals retain the italic slant, maintaining a cohesive, polished tone across the set.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or literary settings, and refined branding where an italic voice is central. It can add polish to invitations, programs, pull quotes, and display lines, and works especially well when paired with a sturdier roman companion for body text.
The font conveys a poised, editorial elegance—classic and cultivated rather than loud or decorative. Its italic cadence suggests sophistication and emphasis, lending a sense of ceremony suited to traditional print culture.
Designed to deliver a classic italic with a distinctly calligraphic sweep and crisp, high-contrast detailing, balancing traditional serif structure with an expressive forward slant for emphasis and elegance.
The slanted forms show deliberate, consistent stress and tight, refined detailing at terminals, which gives strong headline presence while keeping a smooth reading flow in longer lines when properly spaced. The overall color in paragraph settings is bright and airy due to the thin hairlines and pronounced contrast.
