A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and sharper, weighty main strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals that read as pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Uppercase proportions feel spacious and poised, while the lowercase shows a smooth, flowing italic construction with compact joins and open counters. Overall spacing is moderate and even, supporting continuous text while retaining a distinctly elegant, stylized silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and long-form pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for formal invitations, cultural programs, and refined branding moments, especially at text-to-display sizes where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial design. Its pronounced contrast and graceful slant add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, lending emphasis without feeling ornate.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing a graceful reading rhythm and a polished, traditional tone. The combination of calligraphic tapering and controlled proportions suggests an aim for timeless, editorial versatility with a distinctly elegant voice.
Round forms (like O and Q) appear clean and generously shaped, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes are sharply tapered, giving the face a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly italicized and delicate, keeping visual continuity with the text style.
