A slanted serif with sturdy, confident strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic influence: diagonals and curves taper subtly, terminals often finish with wedge-like shaping, and round letters maintain smooth, slightly condensed bowls. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, while the lowercase is more energetic, with a single-storey “a,” looped “g,” and a right-leaning rhythm that keeps words moving. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable variation in widths and distinctive curved forms, giving numerical text a lively texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or headline typography. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, refined tone and a recognizable, characterful italic word shape.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that still feels warm and human due to the calligraphic italic movement. It reads as traditional and bookish rather than decorative, projecting authority without becoming rigid.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic slant, providing strong emphasis in continuous reading while preserving a classic, established typographic voice.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in running text, with strong word shapes and clear differentiation between similar letters. The italic angle is moderate, and the serifs remain crisp at small sizes, helping maintain a structured, print-oriented texture.
