A crisp italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and delicately bracketed serifs. The design shows a consistent rightward slant, narrow joins, and tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the high stroke contrast. Capitals are dignified and spacious, while the lowercase has a fluid, calligraphic rhythm with single-storey forms and gently looping descenders. Numerals follow the same refined modulation, with thin hairlines and softly curved strokes that maintain an even, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal materials such as invitations, programs, and refined brand touchpoints that benefit from a classic, cultured tone.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking editorial tradition and formal correspondence. Its italic movement and sharp contrast give it a poised, expressive character suited to emphasis and display without feeling ornamental.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for reading and emphasis, balancing crisp detail with smooth cursive motion for a composed, timeless impression.
The italic construction is pronounced and cohesive across cases, with a lively baseline flow and clear entry/exit strokes. Serifs remain understated rather than heavy, helping the face keep a clean, airy color at larger sizes while still reading as a conventional book serif.
