A slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and taper into the stems, with crisp, pointed terminals and a generally open, readable construction. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving the letters a polished, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapering logic, with graceful diagonals and rounded forms that keep the overall color even.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazines where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a more lyrical texture. It can also serve effectively in formal correspondence, invitations, and upscale branding when a classic serif tone with fluid motion is desired.
The tone is cultivated and traditional, suggesting editorial refinement rather than display theatrics. Its slant and tapered detailing add a sense of movement and sophistication, reading as poised, expressive, and quietly formal.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a touch of calligraphic warmth—balancing traditional serif structure with graceful, tapered detailing for continuous text and refined typography.
Capitals feel spacious and dignified, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence in letters like a, f, g, and y, where the terminals and loops contribute to a lively line. Overall spacing and internal counters remain open enough to preserve clarity in running text while retaining a distinctly italic character.
