A refined italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and strongly tapered strokes. The forms show a lively, calligraphic axis with pronounced entry and exit terminals, giving letters a flowing forward motion. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and joins are clean, producing a crisp texture at text sizes despite the delicate hairlines. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, while the lowercase is rhythmically varied with distinctive italic construction and a gentle, continuous slant.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or chapter openings. It can also serve as a primary text face for elegant print settings—books, magazines, programs, and formal collateral—where a traditional, refined tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a classic editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and graceful terminals convey refinement and formality, while the fluid italic movement adds warmth and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish italic with strong typographic tradition, balancing crisp detail with readable, flowing rhythm. Its emphasis is on elegance and contrast while preserving a consistent texture for extended reading.
Numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, with old-style character and varying widths that contribute to an organic, handwritten rhythm. The design maintains consistent stroke modulation and terminal treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, resulting in a cohesive page color in running text.
