A slanted serif with a delicate, even stroke and brisk, sharply cut terminals. The serifs read as compact slabs with subtle bracketing, keeping the baseline rhythm firm while the italic angle adds forward motion. Counters are open and rounded, with smooth curves in C, O, and e balanced by crisp joins and restrained detailing. Proportions feel spacious and slightly extended, and the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, clean texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, especially for passages set in italic such as emphasis, captions, and pull quotes. It can also support refined branding applications like packaging or invitations where a traditional serif tone and a light, elegant texture are desired.
The overall tone is polished and classical, suggesting literary and editorial use rather than overt display. Its italic energy feels composed and articulate, giving text a cultivated, slightly formal voice without appearing heavy or ornate.
Designed to provide a dependable, readable serif voice with an italic slant that brings elegance and pace to text. The combination of sturdy slab-like serifs and restrained contrast suggests an aim for clarity and consistency in continuous setting while preserving a classic, editorial character.
The italic construction shows clear calligraphic influence in letters like a, f, and y, while maintaining a controlled, typeset look. The spacing and moderate apertures help keep paragraphs legible, and the numerals match the letterforms with similarly tidy serifs and smooth curves.
