A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and a calligraphic stress that moves cleanly through curved forms. Strokes transition from hairline thins to firm main stems, producing a bright, lively texture and a refined rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional, with compact, well-controlled curves and a poised, slightly forward-leaning stance across both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited for editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles, or introductory matter. It also fits heritage branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a refined, classic serif italic. At larger sizes it can serve for headlines and pull quotes, where its contrast and sharp terminals read as elegant and authoritative.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a distinctly formal, editorial voice. Its slanted posture and crisp contrast add a sense of cultivated elegance and a slightly dramatic, old‑world flavor without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic companion for extended reading and polished typography, emphasizing contrast, clarity, and a traditional bookish cadence. It aims to provide emphasis with sophistication rather than exuberant decoration, keeping forms disciplined and consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Figures show the same italic slant and contrast as the letters, giving numerals a cohesive, text-friendly presence. The overall color on the page is relatively light due to thin hairlines, so it will look most confident with adequate size or generous spacing in print and on screen.
