A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic, pen-led construction. Strokes show clear modulation, with thinner joins and tapered terminals that keep the color light and airy on the page. Proportions feel traditional and compact, with rounded forms that stay open and controlled; curves are smooth, and diagonals have a clean, disciplined angle. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained, book-oriented rhythm, favoring clarity over display eccentricity.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, especially as an italic companion for emphasis, citations, and pull quotes. It also fits refined printed materials such as programs, invitations, and cultural or academic communications where a classical serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as formal without feeling stiff. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and nuance, evoking classical publishing, quotations, and academic emphasis rather than loud branding.
Likely designed as a conventional, readable italic that prioritizes familiar serif structure and a smooth text rhythm. The aim appears to be a timeless, publishable voice with enough calligraphic character to feel crafted, while staying disciplined for continuous use.
The slant is consistent and moderate, and the spacing in text appears even, producing a cohesive italic texture suitable for sustained reading. Details like tapered cross-strokes and subtly flared entry/exit strokes contribute to a traditional, humanist feel while remaining clean at larger sizes.
