A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with thin hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a bright, elegant rhythm. The italic construction is distinctly calligraphic: entry/exit strokes are fluid, joins are lively, and many characters show subtly varying widths that add texture. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders and a balanced, readable x-height for text settings.
Performs best in running text where an italic voice is needed—books, long-form editorial, essays, and magazine typography—especially at moderate sizes where the contrast can breathe. It also suits refined display applications such as invitations, cultural programs, and premium branding lines when set with ample leading.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic forms suggest editorial sophistication—suited to cultured, traditional, or premium contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with strong calligraphic influence, offering a polished typographic voice for emphasis and narrative tone. The combination of traditional proportions and crisp contrast appears aimed at producing a refined, high-end reading experience.
Capitals appear dignified and slightly narrow in stance, pairing well with the more animated lowercase. Numerals show strong contrast and stylized curves, reinforcing the formal, bookish character. Spacing and color in the text sample read even, with the italic angle giving continuous forward motion.
