A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, pen-driven construction. Strokes taper to fine hairlines, with noticeably pointed terminals and a lively rhythm created by narrow joins and subtle modulation through curves. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with compact counters and a smooth, continuous flow. Figures are oldstyle in spirit, with varying heights and angled stress that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and magazines where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, forewords, captions, and refined titling in cultural or academic contexts.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic motion and sharp detailing add a touch of drama, making it feel expressive without becoming ornate.
Designed to provide a traditional italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic pace and classic serif refinement, aiming for fluent readability while preserving a sharp, expressive edge.
The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, helping long passages hold a cohesive texture. Delicate hairlines and pointed details suggest best use at comfortable text sizes or higher, where the fine modulation remains clear.
