A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with thin hairlines and tapered terminals that stay crisp even in tighter joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow and vertically oriented, with compact counters and a smooth baseline flow; numerals match the text style with similarly delicate joins and traditional, serifed forms.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine typography where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, captions, and formal stationery where refined emphasis and a classical tone are desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting classic book typography and editorial polish. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to provide a traditional italic companion with clear calligraphic influence and strong typographic contrast, prioritizing elegance and expressive emphasis in text-driven layouts.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create an airy texture and clear word shapes, while the italic angle and tapered strokes produce a pronounced sense of movement. The capitals read as formal and stately, and the lowercase maintains consistent cursive-like continuity across words.
