A slanted text serif with classic proportions and a calligraphic, humanist rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions, and the serifs are fine and bracketed rather than blocky, giving terminals a crisp, tapered finish. Counters are generous and apertures stay fairly open, while capitals are elegant and slightly narrow with sweeping curves on forms like C, G, and S. The lowercase is lively, with a single-storey g and a gently descending y and j that reinforce the italic movement; numerals follow the same angled, oldstyle-leaning tone with smooth curves and modest contrast.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or narrative tone. It can also serve in refined print materials—programs, invitations, or quotations—where a traditional serif italic conveys sophistication without excessive ornament.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an understated elegance suited to long-form reading. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and refinement, evoking editorial and literary settings rather than loud display. The design reads as cultivated and formal, without feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable italic companion with a classical, humanist backbone. It prioritizes smooth text flow and a graceful typographic presence, balancing moderate contrast and crisp serif detailing to remain clear at typical reading sizes.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and many joins and terminals suggest a pen-influenced construction rather than purely geometric drawing. Spacing in the samples appears comfortably open, supporting continuous text while preserving a polished, typographic color.
