A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The capitals are stately and open, with gently tapered terminals and smooth curves, while the lowercase features compact, flowing forms with small entry strokes and a single-storey italic “a.” Spacing feels even and readable in continuous text, with a calm rhythm driven by diagonal stress and clean joins.
It performs well for long-form reading and editorial typography where an italic is frequently used for emphasis, titles, and quotations. The refined slant also suits formal invitations, certificates, and brand systems that want a traditional, cultured accent without heavy ornament.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a refined, formal presence. Its italic voice feels cultivated and traditional rather than playful, suggesting editorial polish and a measured elegance suited to established contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary character. Its controlled contrast and restrained detailing aim for a dependable, professional tone that integrates smoothly into editorial layouts.
Figures appear lining and italicized, matching the text’s slant and contrast, which helps maintain a unified color in mixed alphanumeric settings. Curves and diagonals are drawn with controlled flare at terminals, giving the design a crisp, print-like finish.
