A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to fuller stems with smooth modulation, giving the letterforms a lively, drawn quality rather than a rigid mechanical one. Capitals are slightly narrow and sweeping, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with clear ascenders/descenders and a steady, text-oriented cadence. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated construction, with curving terminals and refined joins that keep the set visually cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form contexts where an italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or secondary typography. It also works effectively for cultural branding, invitations, and premium packaging that benefits from a traditional, refined italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic slant that evokes book typography and traditional editorial design. Its high contrast and sweeping curves feel refined and cultured, adding a formal, expressive emphasis without becoming ornamental.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic with strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic flow, balancing classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish. The goal appears to be an elegant companion for editorial typography that remains readable while offering expressive emphasis.
The italic construction is pronounced, with energetic entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that help words flow in continuous diagonals. Counters stay relatively open for a high-contrast design, supporting readability while still signaling a more formal voice than a plain text italic.
