A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered entry/exit strokes and subtly wedge-like terminals, creating a lively diagonal rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional with flared feet and confident verticals, while the lowercase is more cursive in motion, featuring flowing joins, angled cross strokes, and rounded counters that stay relatively open. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with elegant curves and varying widths that contribute to an organic, text-oriented texture.
Works well for long-form publishing such as book typography and magazine/editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotes, captions, and introductory passages. It can also support formal printed materials like invitations or programs where an elegant italic voice is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, balancing elegance with a slightly dynamic, handwritten energy typical of formal italics. It feels literary and editorial rather than ornamental, suited to settings where tradition and refinement are important but the voice should remain warm and expressive.
Designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for text typography, prioritizing readable rhythm and classic serif detailing while adding expressive, calligraphic movement for emphasis and tone.
Letterforms maintain a consistent slanted axis and a steady baseline despite energetic curves, producing a readable, even color in paragraph samples. The italic is assertive enough to stand on its own for emphasis, with distinctive swash-like strokes on select lowercase shapes while remaining within conventional text-serif expectations.
