A slender, sharply modeled serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, with tapered terminals and a crisp, engraved finish. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic, while spacing feels measured and text rhythm remains even despite the narrow strokes. Uppercase forms are poised and traditional; lowercase features compact bowls and angled joins that keep the texture light and airy.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book work, and magazine features where a graceful italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It also fits refined branding and formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and certificates, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the delicate contrast can shine.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to elegant emphasis rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to provide a classic, readable italic with an elegant, high-contrast voice—balancing traditional serif construction with smooth, calligraphic motion for refined text and display use.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms that read gracefully at display sizes. Some letters show distinctive, gently swept entry/exit strokes that add personality without becoming decorative.
