A crisp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and slender, hairline-like serifs. Strokes show diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entry/exit terminals and gently bracketed joins. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while the lowercase uses flowing, slightly varying widths that create a lively texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with smooth curves and fine finishing details that keep the overall color light and airy.
Well-suited to editorial typography, literary titling, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve for refined branding, invitations, and short-form display lines, especially when set with adequate size and breathing room to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting sophistication and a bookish, old-world formality. Its sweeping italic movement reads expressive without becoming ornamental, giving it a cultured, editorial feel.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif expression with strong calligraphic cues and a refined, high-contrast finish. The intention appears to balance traditional readability with graceful, dynamic letterforms that elevate formal and editorial compositions.
Letterforms maintain consistent slant and contrast across cases, with graceful curves and occasional extended terminals that add motion (notably in letters like Q, f, j, and y). In running text, the sharp serifs and thin connecting strokes produce a delicate texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
