A refined italic serif with sharp, tapered entry and exit strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The design shows pronounced stroke modulation and diagonal stress, with slender hairlines and sturdy main strokes that create a lively, polished rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and the italics lean is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while lowercase proportions keep counters open and readable, with distinctive, gently sweeping tails and terminals on letters like f, j, y, and g.
Works well for editorial settings such as book and magazine typography, particularly for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and literary titles. It also suits formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—where an elegant italic serif tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, formal voice that feels suited to traditional editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and graceful movement suggest sophistication rather than neutrality, adding a cultured, established character to headlines and passages alike.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that delivers strong contrast and graceful motion while maintaining readability in continuous setting. It emphasizes traditional serif structure and calligraphic detailing to add polish and personality without becoming ornamental.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-modulation approach, with flowing curves on 2, 3, 5, and 9 and a more restrained, upright feel in 1 and 4. The texture in continuous text appears smooth and even, with enough internal space to keep the italic color from becoming overly dark at typical reading sizes.
