A right-leaning serif italic with bracketed serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with angled stress, producing a smooth diagonal rhythm in text. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, with sharp terminals and clean, tapered joins; the Q shows a lively, sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are compact and fluid, with a single-storey a and g, a pronounced italic cursive influence, and extenders that add vertical elegance without feeling overly long. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with curving forms and tapered terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and chapter openings where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve in formal stationery and invitations, and in branding contexts that benefit from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, evoking classic publishing and editorial typography. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes add a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as polished rather than playful. In longer lines it feels cultured and authoritative, suitable for content where a refined voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic companion: legible at paragraph sizes, with enough calligraphic character to read as an intentional italic rather than a simple slant. Its moderate contrast and restrained detailing suggest a focus on sustained reading and a polished editorial finish.
In sample text, the font maintains an even texture and steady word rhythm, with distinct letter silhouettes that help readability despite the strong italic slant. The design favors sharp, clean finishing details over heavy ornament, giving it a crisp, modernized take on a classic italic.
