A slanted calligraphic serif with gently modulated strokes and crisp, tapered terminals. Letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady diagonal stress that gives the line a smooth forward rhythm. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and clear, clean curves; capitals feel stately while lowercase forms stay compact and consistent. Numerals follow the same italicized, slightly calligraphic construction with rounded bowls and sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal communications—invites, programs, and upscale branding—especially when used for emphasis, short passages, or display-sized setting.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking editorial sophistication and a composed, literary feel. Its italic motion reads expressive without becoming casual, making it feel formal and intentionally crafted.
Designed to provide a dignified italic with calligraphic influence: expressive stroke modulation, traditional serif detailing, and a smooth forward flow intended to elevate reading tone and add refined emphasis.
In text, the slant and stroke modulation create a lively texture and strong word-shape, especially in titles and emphasized passages. The design maintains a controlled, uniform cadence, with occasional flourish-like terminals that add character without heavy ornament.
