A slanted serif face with softly bracketed, slab-like terminals and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes read clean and restrained, with gently rounded joins and open counters that keep letters airy at text sizes. Proportions are generous horizontally, and the italics have a calligraphic flow without becoming cursive—serifs remain present and consistent, giving the design a structured baseline and steady texture. Numerals follow the same oblique angle and light footprint, matching the overall color and spacing.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is desired for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It also suits formal collateral—programs, invitations, and boutique branding—where a classic serif impression with a dynamic lean is appropriate.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, combining traditional serif manners with a breezy italic slant. It feels refined and polite rather than loud, suggesting measured sophistication suited to longer reading or cultured branding.
The design appears intended as a practical, readable italic companion with a sturdier serif footprint, balancing traditional structure with a smooth, contemporary cadence for text-forward settings.
The slant is pronounced enough to create forward motion in lines of text, while the sturdy serif treatment prevents the face from feeling delicate. Letterforms maintain clear differentiation (notably in rounded shapes and diagonals), supporting comfortable scanning in continuous copy.
