A slanted serif with compact proportions and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and clearly defined, bracketed serifs that stay crisp at the terminals. The italic construction is evident in the forward lean and gently sheared counters, while capitals remain structured and upright in spirit. Curves are smooth and controlled, with slightly pointed entries/exits and a consistent, text-oriented color across the alphabet and numerals.
Works well for continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where an italic serif is needed for emphasis or a primary voice. It also suits literary and academic titles, pull quotes, and other typographic moments that call for a classic, formal tone with compact efficiency.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial presence. Its italic voice reads as refined rather than flamboyant, suggesting tradition and restraint with a hint of calligraphic motion. The result is polished and serious, suited to contexts that benefit from established typographic conventions.
Likely designed as a conventional italic companion (or italic-forward text face) that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition. The moderate contrast, disciplined serif treatment, and compact proportions point to an intent to perform reliably in dense text while delivering a refined, editorial character.
Figures follow the same angled, serifed logic as the letters, keeping the texture even in mixed text. The narrow build and firm serifs can create a dense, authoritative line, especially in longer settings, while the italic slant provides clear emphasis without becoming decorative.
