A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that show a subtle diagonal stress. The capitals are crisp and traditionally proportioned, while the lowercase is notably tall and open, giving the face an airy, readable texture at text sizes. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with rounded terminals and a lively rhythm that comes from the consistent italic angle and softly tapered joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same slanted, bookish logic, keeping the overall color even without feeling rigid or mechanical.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and captions when a classic, cultivated tone is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established rather than trendy. Its italic energy adds warmth and motion, suggesting narrative voice, commentary, and cultivated print traditions.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif foundation with an italic that reads clearly in continuous text while still conveying a touch of calligraphic liveliness. It aims for familiar, publication-friendly forms with enough warmth and motion to keep pages feeling engaged.
The letterforms maintain a steady baseline and a coherent slant across cases, producing a unified flow in paragraph settings. Spacing appears comfortable and the counters remain generous, helping the face stay legible while retaining a refined, slightly expressive character.
