A slanted serif with a graceful, calligraphic rhythm and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear contrast with tapered terminals, producing a crisp, airy texture on the page. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are elegant and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms are compact with smooth joins and a modest x-height. The numerals follow the same italicized, serifed construction, keeping the overall color even and consistent in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits refined branding moments—such as invitations, cultural programs, or jacket copy—where a classic serif italic can add elegance without overpowering the page.
The tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and quiet sophistication. Its italic posture reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting cultivated formality and a classic editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that complements traditional serif typography, prioritizing fluent readability and a tasteful, established voice for editorial and literary settings.
Letterforms lean on soft curves and restrained detailing rather than sharp angularity, which helps maintain a calm reading flow. Spacing appears tuned for paragraph work, with an even cadence across mixed-case and numerals.
