A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show noticeable contrast with angled stress, combining thin hairlines and sturdier stems, and the joins stay clean without becoming overly ornate. The capitals are stately and relatively wide, with sharp wedge-like serifs and smooth curves; the lowercase is more flowing, with single-storey forms where expected (notably a and g) and lively, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with varied widths and clear differentiation, supporting a text-forward, old-style feel.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve in refined branding, cultural materials, and formal stationery where a classic serif italic provides sophistication and texture.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward refined and cultured rather than contemporary. Its italic energy reads expressive yet controlled, suggesting formality and a literary voice appropriate for established institutions and editorial contexts.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed structure. The intent appears to balance elegance and legibility: enough contrast and taper to feel expressive, while keeping proportions and spacing steady for text use.
The italics maintain consistent slant and rhythm across the set, with open apertures and counters that help preserve clarity in running text. Ascenders are prominent and the lowercase has a slightly cursive swing, while the capitals remain composed and authoritative.
