An italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a steady rightward slant. Stems and diagonals taper into subtly flared, bracketed endings, giving the serifs a soft, calligraphic feel rather than sharp hairline terminals. Counters are generally open and rounded, with a smooth, continuous stroke rhythm that reads cleanly in words. Uppercase forms feel poised and slightly wide in gesture, while lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish proportion and consistent spacing.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form compositions where a formal italic is needed for emphasis or stylistic voice. It also performs effectively in invitations, cultural branding, and premium packaging where an elegant, traditional impression is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a polished, traditional voice suited to refined typography. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds a sense of motion and sophistication, evoking classic editorial and cultural contexts rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with heightened refinement: strong contrast, controlled tapering, and softly flared stroke endings that suggest a pen-influenced construction. The goal is a graceful, elevated texture that remains legible while adding character and prestige to the page.
The numerals and capitals share the same tapered, flared finishing, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. In the sample text, the italic angle and contrast create a lively line rhythm, with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms at display sizes.
