A slender italic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a gently modulated stroke. The design leans on tall capitals, long extenders, and a pronounced rightward slant, creating a vertical, flowing rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with crisp terminals and narrow apertures that keep the texture compact. The lowercase shows traditional book-serif forms with a single-story “g,” a looping “y,” and an italic “f” with a long descender, while numerals follow the same delicate, oblique construction.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or refined display lines. It works especially well for book and magazine typography, pull quotes, and elegant collateral such as invitations or cultural branding, where its compact texture and calligraphic motion can read as premium.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a distinctly literary, old-world elegance. Its italic movement feels expressive without becoming ornate, suggesting formality and polish suited to sophisticated typography.
The design appears intended as a classical italic companion with a controlled, bookish texture—prioritizing graceful movement, refined detailing, and a polished reading rhythm over bold display theatrics.
Spacing appears relatively tight, producing an even, continuous color in text. The “Q” features a decorative tail, and several letters (notably “k,” “v,” “w,” and “y”) have energetic diagonals that add sparkle at larger sizes. Figures are slender and graceful, pairing naturally with the italic letterforms.
