A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, finely bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Curves and joins feel calligraphic, with tapered terminals and crisp beak-like details on letters such as C, S, and f. Proportions are moderately narrow with slightly variable character widths, and the rhythm is lively due to the consistent slant and energetic entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with a single-storey a and flowing, looped forms in g and y.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations, certificates, and refined brand collateral, especially where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, suggesting editorial sophistication and a traditional, bookish elegance. Its crisp contrast and italic movement convey a sense of ceremony and refinement, suitable for elevated, formal messaging rather than utilitarian UI text.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic flavor, balancing classic proportions with lively stroke modulation for expressive text setting.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style leaning feel, with noticeably calligraphic shaping that complements the text. The sample text shows strong word-shape and a cohesive texture, with clear punctuation and an ampersand that fits the classic italic voice.
