A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a gently calligraphic construction. Stems and joins taper smoothly, with crisp bracketed serifs and teardrop-like terminals that keep the forms sharp without becoming rigid. The slant is steady and moderate, producing a flowing rhythm; counters are open and the curves are clean, giving the face a bright, airy color in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slightly flared entry/exit strokes and carefully balanced, classic proportions.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for literary titles, formal invitations, and pull quotes, providing emphasis with a classic, high-end texture.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its expressive italic movement reads as cultured and graceful rather than casual, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, bookish italic with strong contrast and a controlled calligraphic feel—aiming for clarity and refinement while preserving the expressive motion expected of an italic serif.
In the sample text, the italic angle and strong contrast create clear word shapes and an energetic line rhythm, while the delicate hairlines suggest best use where reproduction is clean and size is not too small. The design maintains consistent stress and terminal treatment across letters, helping longer passages feel cohesive rather than ornamental.
