A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. The curves are smooth and slightly swollen at joins, giving the letters a soft, inked feel rather than a rigid, mechanical construction. Proportions are traditional, with open counters and a balanced rhythm; the capitals read stately and measured while the lowercase shows a more cursive, calligraphic movement. Numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic and maintain consistent texture in text.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or front-matter. It can also serve effectively in refined headlines and pull quotes, especially when a classical serif tone is desired without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, with an understated elegance that suggests tradition and authority. Its italic energy adds warmth and motion, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a graceful, traditional texture on the page, offering a polished companion style for editorial systems.
The italic slant is steady and consistent, and the design favors tapered strokes and subtly pointed details that sharpen word shapes. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, producing an even typographic color with gently animated diagonals.
