A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are spacious and elegant, with angled joins and pointed apexes; round letters stay open and slightly oval. Lowercase features a two-storey “a,” a flowing, single-storey “g,” and an energetic “f” and “j” with pronounced descenders; figures appear italicized with open bowls and angled stress.
Well-suited for editorial typography—book and magazine text, essays, and pull quotes—where a refined italic is needed for emphasis or voice. It can also serve in branding and packaging contexts that benefit from a classic, cultured serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a polished, cultivated voice. Its italic slant and tapered details add motion and sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
Likely intended as a conventional text-serif italic that reads smoothly in continuous settings while providing expressive emphasis through slanted, calligraphic details and tapered finishing.
The design maintains consistent slant and stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals, supporting coherent texture in paragraph settings. Terminals tend to finish in sharp, well-controlled points, lending a crisp finish at both display and text sizes.
