A delicate italic text serif with a pronounced rightward slant and brisk, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are tapered with clear thick–thin modulation and sharp, well-finished terminals; serifs appear small and bracketed, helping maintain a continuous reading line without feeling heavy. The capitals are tall and poised with generous curves and narrow internal spaces, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively modest x-height, long ascenders, and lively entry/exit strokes that create a smooth forward motion. Figures are similarly inclined and elegant, with open shapes and subtle curvature that match the text style.
Well-suited for book and magazine italics, pull quotes, and editorial settings where a classical, flowing emphasis is needed. It also works effectively for refined titling—such as chapter openers, programs, and invitations—especially when a formal, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial polish. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds a sense of fluency and finesse, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text face while staying composed and formal.
Designed to provide a graceful, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing classic proportions with a noticeably calligraphic stroke and forward-leaning cadence.
Letterforms show consistent angle and modulation across cases, with graceful joins and restrained detailing that keeps texture even in paragraphs. The italic construction is assertive—more than a simple oblique—so it reads as a true italic suited to continuous text rather than a decorative script.
