A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs. The capitals are slightly narrow and gently sloped, with sharp triangular terminals and a smooth, continuous rhythm across curves. Lowercase forms are fluid and somewhat cursive in construction, featuring a single-storey “a,” a looping “g,” and a lively “f” with a long, descending terminal; counters are open and the joins are clean. Numerals follow the same italic logic with refined hairlines, giving figures an elegant, drawn quality rather than a rigid, engineered one.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is used for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and upscale packaging or labels where a refined serif italic can carry a premium tone.
The overall tone is polished and classical, leaning toward editorial sophistication and traditional bookish elegance. Its slanted, high-contrast forms suggest a cultured, expressive voice suited to refined messaging rather than utilitarian interface text.
Designed to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a pronounced calligraphic flavor—balancing graceful motion and sharp detailing for elegant, traditionally styled typography.
The italic angle is consistent and the spacing reads even in paragraph samples, with a graceful baseline flow and distinctive entry/exit strokes that add motion. Delicate hairlines and sharp terminals create a bright typographic color at larger sizes, while the stronger main strokes maintain legibility in continuous text.
