A slanted serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. The construction is relatively open and readable, with moderate stroke modulation and crisp terminals that taper into pointed finishes on many letters. Uppercase forms feel restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement, including a single-storey “g” with a looped descender and softly curving entry/exit strokes. Numerals echo the same italic rhythm, with angled stress and elegant, slightly tapered endings.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined typographic palette. It also fits formal invitations and premium branding applications that benefit from a traditional, elegant serif with noticeable italic character.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, suggesting bookish sophistication rather than loud display. Its italic angle and tapered detailing add a sense of motion and finesse, making it feel expressive yet controlled.
Designed to provide a conventional serif italic with a graceful, slightly calligraphic finish—expressive enough for emphasis and headlines, but steady and structured enough to hold up in text settings.
Spacing appears even and measured, supporting continuous reading in longer lines while preserving a delicate, high-end texture. The italic forms maintain clear internal counters and consistent slant across letters and figures, helping the font stay composed in paragraphs.
