A slanted serif with moderate contrast and an even, text-oriented color. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows through in the angled stress and subtly varied stroke endings. Proportions feel traditional with a steady x-height, open counters, and slightly compact letterforms that keep words cohesive. The italic construction is smooth and continuous rather than sharp or high-strung, giving the face a calm, readable flow in longer passages.
This font is well suited to book and long-form editorial typography, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or literary titling. It also works effectively in magazines, essays, and refined brand communications that benefit from traditional serif warmth and a continuous reading rhythm.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting editorial polish and a measured, cultured voice. Its italic slant and traditional serif detailing convey elegance and formality without feeling overly ornamental, making it well suited to serious, text-led communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: familiar, readable, and harmonized for continuous setting, while still providing the expressive movement and emphasis expected from an italic companion.
Capitals have a restrained, inscriptional presence and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase without dominating the line. Numerals follow the same italicized, traditional logic, with clear shapes and consistent modulation that integrates well in running text.
