A high-contrast serif italic with flowing, calligraphic stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from fine hairlines to confident main stems, with tapered entry/exit terminals and a lively, rightward slant. The proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, readable x-height; counters are open and forms are smoothly modeled rather than geometric. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, showing strong thick–thin modulation and clear, old-style-inspired shaping.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, and featured passages. It also performs nicely for refined display settings—pull quotes, headlines, and formal communications—where contrast and slant can add elegance without sacrificing clarity.
The font conveys a composed, cultured tone—polished and literary rather than loud or decorative. Its italic energy adds motion and sophistication, making text feel nuanced, formal, and editorial.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances traditional proportions with a noticeably calligraphic, high-contrast construction. It aims to provide a graceful, authoritative italic companion for reading environments while remaining strong enough for expressive editorial highlights.
Letterforms show consistent diagonal stress and carefully controlled hairlines, creating a bright page color at text sizes while still feeling premium in display use. The overall rhythm is even, with gentle curvature and slightly expressive terminals that keep italics from feeling mechanical.
