A slanted serif with gently modulated strokes and bracketed terminals that read as traditional rather than sharp or geometric. The letterforms show a calligraphic undercurrent: curved joins, softened serifs, and a lively rhythm created by the italic angle and slightly varied character widths. Counters are comfortably open, curves are round and full, and the overall color on the page is even and sturdy without feeling rigid.
This face works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any layout that benefits from a traditional italic voice. It’s also a strong choice for pull quotes, introductions, and short headlines where the slanted serif character can add emphasis without becoming decorative.
The tone is classic and literary, with a confident, formal presence that still feels approachable. Its italic movement adds a sense of speed and emphasis, making it feel suited to cultured, editorial contexts rather than purely utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a slightly oldstyle, calligraphic flavor—balancing solid text color with graceful movement for sustained reading and typographic emphasis.
The numerals are clear and substantial, matching the text’s weight and slant well, while maintaining the same softened, traditional detailing. Overall spacing and proportions favor a readable, continuous texture in paragraph settings.
