A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and tapered strokes that swell subtly through curves and thin into sharp terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often flared, with a lively rhythm created by angled stress and varied stroke endings. Uppercase forms feel open and gently classical, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, compact bowls, and distinctive italic shaping, including a single-storey a and g and a long, descending f. Figures are proportional and slanted to match the text, with clean, sharp entry and exit strokes.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic is needed. It also works effectively for branding, packaging accents, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially at display and subhead sizes where the tapered detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and traditional book typography. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of ceremony and cultured restraint.
Likely designed to provide a classic, readable italic with a refined, slightly calligraphic edge—offering expressive emphasis while preserving an orderly text rhythm. The flared, bracketed finishing suggests an intention to feel traditional and premium rather than stark or purely modern.
The design balances crisp, pointed terminals with soft bracketing, producing a graceful texture in continuous reading. Curves (notably in O/Q and the lowercase bowls) are smooth and slightly dynamic, and the italics maintain consistency across letters and numerals for cohesive emphasis.
