A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with a steady, calligraphic rhythm that shows in the rounded bowls and the flowing joins. Capitals feel slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and a consistent, gently right-leaning stress. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sharp terminals with rounded forms for a cohesive text-and-display color.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis or full passages. It can also serve in formal branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with a more restrained roman for hierarchy and contrast.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial and book typography. Its crisp contrast and measured slant read as polished and formal, with a hint of old-world sophistication rather than casual informality.
Designed to provide a sophisticated, high-contrast italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing clarity and elegance. The forms prioritize a controlled reading rhythm and a distinctly formal tone for both continuous text and prominent pull quotes or headlines.
The italic construction looks deliberate and typographic (not a loose cursive), balancing energetic diagonals with stable vertical stems. Stroke endings often finish in teardrop-like terminals or sharp wedges, which adds sparkle at larger sizes while keeping the texture smooth in text.
