A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and gently swelling curves that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Proportions lean classical with moderate extenders, open counters, and a slightly narrow, forward-moving silhouette that reads cleanly in continuous text.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes where an italic is used for emphasis or tone. It can also serve formal communications—programs, invitations, and branding accents—especially where a classic, refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting established editorial typography rather than overt display styling. Its italic flow adds a sense of motion and sophistication, giving text a poised, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readable flow and classical elegance. Its high-contrast construction and calligraphic shaping aim to provide emphasis with refinement while maintaining steady, text-friendly spacing and rhythm.
Lowercase details emphasize an oldstyle feel: a single-storey “a” and “g,” a long, expressive “f,” and a looping descender on “j” contribute to a humanist cadence. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, helping mixed text maintain a consistent color.
