A slanted serif with finely tapered strokes and clear modulation, giving letterforms a crisp, drawn quality rather than a purely mechanical one. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp terminals and slightly flared entry/exit strokes that help guide the eye along the line. Proportions feel classical and open, with moderate spacing and a steady baseline rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean at text sizes. The lowercase shows compact, angled forms with a single-storey “g” and softly looping descenders, while figures share the same right-leaning, lightly calligraphic construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic serif can carry both text and emphasis gracefully. It also fits invitations, programs, and other formal materials where a classic, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its slant and tapered details add a gentle sense of motion and sophistication without becoming overly decorative, producing an elegant, composed voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphic flavor—balancing elegance and clarity for editorial typography and refined display moments within text.
In running text the shapes maintain a consistent diagonal stress, and the punctuation and numerals match the same refined, lightly pen-influenced styling. The italics are assertive enough for emphasis while remaining comfortable for extended reading when used thoughtfully.
