A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with an oblique axis, and the serifs are bracketed with tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are crisp and slightly narrow with gently flared joins, while the lowercase shows flowing entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and a single‑storey “g” with a looped descender. Figures appear lining and italicized, echoing the same stroke stress and terminal treatment for consistent color in text.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or sidebars. It can also serve refined branding and formal printed materials—such as invitations or certificates—when a classical, text-forward personality is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, bookish feel that suggests editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its italic energy adds warmth and motion while keeping a composed, traditional voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an oldstyle foundation, balancing readability with a graceful, calligraphy-informed slant. It prioritizes consistent paragraph color and traditional detailing to feel at home in long-form typography.
The letterforms maintain a consistent diagonal movement and spacing rhythm, producing an even texture in paragraphs. Distinctive features include the looped “g”, softly hooked descenders, and numerals that read clearly while staying stylistically integrated with the text.
