A sharply modulated italic serif with slender hairlines, firm main strokes, and distinctly bracketed serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant and a fluid, calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and occasional ball or teardrop endings in the lowercase. Round letters keep a clean oval stress, while diagonals and joins stay crisp and controlled, giving the design a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same elegant modulation, with open, airy counters and fine finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and long-form quotations where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for refined invitations, cultural branding, and headlines that benefit from a traditional, graceful serif italic.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, balancing elegance with clarity. Its lively italic motion feels expressive and slightly romantic without becoming decorative, lending text an elevated, editorial character.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-fidelity italic companion for text typography, providing emphasis with a classical, calligraphy-informed stroke model and a calm, readable page color.
In running text, the spacing reads open and even, helping the high-contrast strokes avoid looking brittle. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the design maintains a cohesive, classical silhouette suitable for sustained reading.
