A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that creates a clean, traditional rhythm. The capitals are narrow and upright in construction but clearly italicized, with pointed terminals and tapered strokes that keep the color light and airy on the page. Lowercase forms show a calligraphic influence in their entry and exit strokes, with slightly teardrop-like terminals and a smooth, continuous flow between thick and thin. Curves are controlled rather than round and bubbly, and spacing feels even, supporting long lines of text without looking condensed or loose.
This font is well suited to book and editorial typography where a traditional italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve in formal print materials—programs, invitations, and literary titling—where a refined serif italic helps convey seriousness and polish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an old-world formality suited to editorial and bookish contexts. Its italic slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and motion, reading as elegant rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with a measured calligraphic feel—prioritizing readability and typographic tradition while providing a graceful, expressive slant for emphasis and display moments.
Numerals follow the same italic logic and appear proportionally integrated with the text, keeping a consistent slant and stroke modulation. The italic is assertive enough to be clearly distinct in running text, yet restrained in flourish so it stays appropriate for conventional typography.
