A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals and elegant entry/exit strokes that create a fluid rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel broad and stately, with generous curves and crisp apexes, while lowercase shows lively movement through angled stems, teardrop-like joins, and compact counters that stay clear at text sizes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing strong verticals with fine hairlines and subtly curved strokes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or elegant body copy. It can also serve formal communications and branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and classic editorial styling. Its energetic italic slant adds a sense of sophistication and forward motion, reading as formal and confident rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a traditional italic text serif with strong calligraphic contrast and a smooth reading rhythm. The intent appears to balance elegance and authority, providing a distinctive yet conventional typographic voice for extended reading and sophisticated display.
Stroke contrast is a defining feature, so spacing and rhythm rely on the interplay of thick verticals and fine horizontals/diagonals. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a cohesive, slightly dramatic texture.
