A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairlines against tapered, heavier stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and pointed, giving terminals a sharp, clean finish. Curves show a calligraphic modulation and a lively baseline rhythm, with slightly generous ascenders and descenders that enhance the italic flow. Overall spacing feels measured and even in text, with a smooth diagonal emphasis and distinct, neatly shaped figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal applications like invitations and refined branding, particularly for headlines, subheads, and highlight text where its crisp contrast and calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—poised and formal rather than casual. Its calligraphic movement and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and tradition, with an editorial elegance that reads as premium and composed.
The design appears intended as a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing graceful motion, sharp detail, and a polished reading texture. Its combination of structured forms and calligraphic modulation suggests an emphasis on traditional elegance for professional publishing and formal communication.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified texture in continuous reading. The strong stroke modulation and delicate hairlines make the design especially sensitive to reproduction conditions, where enough size and contrast help preserve its fine details.
