A slender italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a clean, tightly spaced rhythm. Strokes show clear but restrained contrast, with tapered joins and delicate, bracketed serifs that finish sharply. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with narrow counters and a controlled, consistent axis that reads smoothly in continuous text. Numerals share the same italic calligraphic influence, with flowing curves and lightly cupped terminals that keep the overall color light and airy.
Well suited to editorial environments where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, credits, or refined titling. The narrow proportions make it useful for fitting longer phrases into limited horizontal space while maintaining a formal, bookish tone.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its narrow, inclined forms and fine detailing create a sense of speed and sophistication, suited to elegant, reserved communication rather than bold display.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion for text typography, emphasizing elegance, economy of width, and consistent calligraphic stress. The intent appears focused on readable, cultivated setting for literature and editorial design rather than ornamental display.
Capitals feel tall and streamlined, with minimal flourish and an emphasis on graceful diagonals; the italic construction is evident across both cases, including the single-storey italic forms and flowing descenders. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text reinforce the crisp, classical character through sharp terminals and consistent slanted stress.
