This is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems lean consistently to the right, with tapered joins and bracketed serifs that read as sharp but not exaggerated. The lowercase shows a smooth rhythm with clear entry/exit strokes and a slightly lively baseline, while capitals are more restrained and structured, keeping a traditional serif silhouette. Counters are open and proportions feel balanced, supporting continuous reading despite the pronounced slant.
It fits well for editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or nuanced hierarchy. It can also serve in refined stationery or formal announcements, especially for short passages where a classic italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured formality. Its italic movement adds elegance and a sense of motion, giving text a refined, expressive voice without becoming decorative or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic companion with a traditional serif vocabulary—prioritizing smooth rhythm, clear word shapes, and a polished literary feel for extended text and typographic emphasis.
Figures are italicized to match the text, with old-style energy rather than rigid geometric construction, helping numerals blend into running copy. The sample text shows consistent spacing and an even typographic color, with the slant providing emphasis while maintaining legibility at paragraph sizes.
