A slanted serif design with moderate stroke modulation and softly bracketed serifs that keep the texture smooth and continuous. Letterforms show calligraphic influence in their tapered terminals and gently swelling curves, while maintaining a conventional, readable rhythm. Proportions are moderately open with a steady baseline flow, and the italic angle is clear without becoming overly cursive.
Well suited to editorial and book typography, including essays, longform articles, and printed matter that benefits from an established, classic tone. It also works nicely for invitations, cultural programs, and branding that wants refined italic character without sacrificing readability at text sizes.
This typeface conveys a literary, old‑world tone with a touch of formality. Its italic movement feels expressive and slightly dramatic, suggesting tradition and cultivated taste rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended for comfortable text setting with an italic voice that reads as authentic and traditionally modeled. It balances expressive, calligraphy-derived details with stable serif construction to keep paragraphs cohesive and legible while still feeling distinctive.
The figures follow the same serifed, italicized logic as the letters, helping numerals blend naturally into running text. The overall color on the page is even, with enough modulation to add warmth without producing a highly sparkly texture.
