A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a restrained, traditional construction and smooth join behavior. Curves are round and open, counters are moderately generous, and the overall rhythm is even and text-oriented. The italic is clearly drawn (not just obliqued), showing calligraphic influence in letters like the lowercase a, f, and g, and a gentle rightward flow across words.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a lively italic is valuable. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and other text elements that benefit from a refined serif voice without becoming decorative.
The tone is classic and polished, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and elegant italic movement suggest formality and care, while remaining readable and familiar rather than ornamental.
Designed to provide a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a purposeful italic that adds energy and emphasis. The intent appears to balance traditional proportions and clear forms with a subtle calligraphic slant for elegant, readable typography.
Capitals feel stately and balanced, with a slightly narrow, upright presence that contrasts nicely with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals share the same contrast and angled stress, giving figures a refined, bookish look appropriate for running text.
