A high-contrast serif italic with a calligraphic stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to fuller stems, with sharply tapered entry and exit terminals that keep counters open and forms airy. The capitals are gently slanted and relatively narrow with long, clean serifs, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, a single-storey italic “a,” and compact bowls that maintain a smooth, continuous rhythm. Figures are slanted and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that read best when given sufficient size and spacing.
Well suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and literary titling where an elegant italic is desired. It can work for book and magazine settings, especially for emphasis, introductions, and captions, and it also fits formal stationery or invitation work when printed at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with a quiet formality that suggests classic publishing and refined correspondence. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping curves convey sophistication and a sense of tradition rather than a contemporary or utilitarian voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, publishing-oriented italic with refined contrast and a smooth reading rhythm. Its detailing prioritizes elegance and traditional serif craftsmanship, aiming for graceful emphasis and polished text color rather than rugged display impact.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and pointed terminals, so contrast and paper/printing quality will strongly influence perceived sharpness. The italic angle is steady across cases, producing an even, forward-moving texture in lines of text.
