A slender italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and a flowing, calligraphic stroke logic. Curves are smoothly modeled with modest thick–thin modulation, and terminals often finish with tapered, slightly hooked shapes that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions are compact and text-oriented, with narrow letters, restrained apertures, and a consistent rightward slant across capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open, rounded forms and delicate entry/exit strokes that match the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, pull quotes, and italic emphasis within serif text systems. It can also serve in refined short-form settings—such as invitations, programs, or cultural branding—where a traditional italic serif tone is desired without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with an elegant, slightly formal voice. Its italic movement adds a sense of narrative emphasis and cultivated sophistication rather than display flamboyance.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic with classical serif detailing and a smooth, writing-informed rhythm. The intention appears to balance elegance and practicality, offering expressive emphasis while staying grounded in text typography conventions.
Capital forms feel measured and upright in structure despite the slant, giving headings a composed presence. The lowercase shows a continuous pen-like cadence—especially in curved letters—while maintaining clear serif structure for sustained reading.
