This serif italic shows a refined, calligraphic construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively small, helping the strokes feel crisp rather than heavy. Proportions skew compact with a steady italic slant and lively, slightly tapered stems; curves are smooth and controlled, with open counters that keep the face readable despite the delicate hairlines. Numerals and capitals follow the same disciplined rhythm, with slender forms and clear joins that maintain a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well suited to editorial and book settings where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, or literary titling. It can also serve formal stationery and invitation work, especially at sizes where the hairlines and serifs remain comfortably visible.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting tradition, formality, and a quiet sense of prestige. Its flowing italic rhythm feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a poised, cultivated character to headings and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended as a classic text companion italic: graceful, readable, and traditionally proportioned, with enough contrast and finesse to signal quality in editorial and formal applications.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design relies on fine hairlines and sharp details, which gives it a crisp print-like quality. Spacing appears measured and orderly, producing an even, composed line in the sample text.
