A slanted serif with narrow, tapered strokes and gently bracketed serifs that end in sharp, triangular terminals. The curves are open and smooth, with a lively baseline rhythm created by the italic construction and subtle stroke modulation. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised with relatively delicate horizontals, while the lowercase shows long ascenders and descenders and a compact, flowing texture. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varying widths and angled stress that keeps them consistent with the text color.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as book typography, magazines, and refined long-form passages where an elegant italic texture is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal stationery where a classic, polished tone is important.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, evoking traditional book typography and editorial sophistication. Its italic flavor reads expressive without becoming ornamental, giving text a fluent, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, readable serif voice with an italic emphasis that feels calligraphic and elevated, balancing refinement with practicality for continuous text.
The slant is steady and moderately pronounced, and the forms maintain a consistent pen-like logic across letters and numerals. Terminals and joins stay crisp, which helps preserve clarity despite the light, tapered detailing.
