A slanted serif with a gently calligraphic construction, showing moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly asymmetric, with a forward-leaning rhythm and lively entry/exit strokes that keep counters open. Capitals feel narrow and poised, while the lowercase has a flowing texture with distinctive italic forms (notably single-storey a and g) and a long, energetic f. Numerals are old-style in spirit, with angled terminals and varying widths that match the text’s organic cadence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or sidebars. It also performs nicely for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a classical, polished tone is desired.
The tone is cultured and literary, with an old-world elegance that reads as traditional and editorial rather than decorative. Its italic movement adds sophistication and a sense of motion, suggesting formality without becoming rigid.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional italic serif that adds elegance and emphasis in continuous text. Its balanced modulation and bracketed serifs aim to preserve clarity while delivering a distinctly literary, refined texture.
In paragraph setting the letterforms create a smooth, continuous texture with clear word shapes and a consistent diagonal stress. The sharper terminals and brisk joins give it a crisp presence, especially at larger sizes, while maintaining a restrained, conventional serif voice overall.
