A slanted serif with sturdy, smoothly bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show gentle modulation and diagonal stress, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the texture even and readable. Proportions are moderately wide with generous counters, and the italic rhythm is pronounced through curved entry/exit strokes and forward-leaning verticals. The numerals follow the same serifed, slightly angled logic, keeping a consistent color across mixed text.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, book interiors, and long-form reading—especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. The sturdy serifs and even texture also support display-sized use in refined headings and classic title treatments.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an academic seriousness softened by the flowing italic movement. It reads as established and editorial rather than flashy, lending a composed, cultivated voice to text.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, conventional text serif voice in an italic stance—prioritizing readable paragraph rhythm while adding a classic, slightly calligraphic character for emphasis and hierarchy.
The glyphs maintain consistent serif shaping and curvature across capitals and lowercase, producing a cohesive, steady line in paragraphs. The italic forms are assertive but not overly cursive, balancing expressiveness with conventional text-seriffed discipline.
