A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that suggest broad‑nib influence. The forms are compact and rhythmically even, with moderate stroke modulation and clean, sharply cut terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the lowercase shows a clear italic construction with single‑storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a flowing entry/exit stroke behavior. Numerals and capitals keep the same disciplined, slightly calligraphic logic, giving the set a cohesive, text-focused texture.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and academic or cultural publishing where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It also works for refined brand copy and invitations when a classic serif italic texture is desired at text and display sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with a refined, editorial character. Its italic slant and calligraphic detailing add a sense of cultivated formality, suited to expressive emphasis without feeling decorative or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic that prioritizes readability and smooth text rhythm while retaining a measured, calligraphic elegance. It aims to provide a dependable, classic italic voice for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
The italic angle is steady and consistent across cases, and the spacing appears balanced, producing an even grey value in paragraphs. Serifs remain understated rather than heavy, and terminals favor clean cuts over rounded finishes, contributing to a crisp printed look.
