A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show modest contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and many joins feel slightly tapered, lending a drawn, humanist rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Capitals are clean and open with restrained detailing, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved entries, lightly sheared bowls, and subtly varied stroke endings. Numerals share the same italic cadence and keep proportions legible, with rounded forms staying airy and counters remaining open.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for running text that benefits from an italic texture, as well as introductions, pull quotes, captions, and formal correspondence. It can also serve as a primary text face for projects seeking a traditional, humanist serif voice with a graceful slant.
The overall tone is literary and refined, suggesting classic publishing and cultured editorial settings. Its italic slant reads expressive without becoming decorative, conveying a calm, educated voice suited to longer reading as well as elegant emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a subtle calligraphic sensibility—balancing formality and warmth while maintaining consistent texture across paragraphs.
The sample text shows an even color in paragraph settings, with the italic angle and tapered serifs creating a steady forward motion. Curved letters and diagonal strokes (notably in v, w, x, and y) feel lively yet controlled, and punctuation sits neatly without drawing attention.
