A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Forms are slender and vertically oriented, with a steady rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic joins that keep curves clean and controlled. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is even, giving lines a polished texture; ascenders and descenders feel moderately extended, adding a graceful vertical sweep. Numerals and capitals share the same delicate stroke logic, with sharp terminals and subtle bracketed transitions that reinforce a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display-like passages. It also fits formal print pieces—programs, invitations, and branding accents—where a sophisticated italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, classical demeanor. Its high-contrast construction and flowing italic movement suggest formality and sophistication, suited to conveying prestige without appearing heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a polished, classical italic companion for text and display emphasis, prioritizing elegance, rhythmic flow, and refined contrast over rugged robustness at very small sizes.
In continuous text the spacing reads airy and refined, with strong directional flow from the consistent slant. The italic is clearly structural rather than purely oblique, and the sharp, hairline details will read best when given enough size and breathing room.
