A slanted serif design with calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show gently modulated thickness with soft, rounded transitions and a smooth, continuous rhythm through curves and joins. Proportions feel traditionally serifed rather than geometric: capitals are relatively wide and open, while lowercase forms use flowing entry/exit strokes and a slightly cursive feel without becoming a script. Terminals tend to be angled or lightly hooked, and counters stay clear at text sizes, giving the face a poised, readable texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic serif is used for emphasis, quotations, and section leads, as well as longer-form reading where a traditional texture is desired. It can also serve formal applications—such as invitations, cultural programs, and refined branding—especially when a classic, elegant tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial presence. Its slant and calligraphic detailing add warmth and motion, suggesting elegance and a traditional, cultured sensibility rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a fluent, calligraphy-informed feel, balancing decorative motion with steady readability. Its detailing aims to create an elegant page rhythm that feels established and trustworthy while still expressive in emphasis settings.
Uppercase letters keep a stately silhouette while retaining the slanted posture, and the italic rhythm is consistent across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with smooth curves and tapered endings that match the letterforms, supporting cohesive page color in mixed text.
