A robust italic serif with a calligraphic backbone and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that create a smooth, continuous flow. Proportions feel traditional, with generous curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q, and compact counters that hold up well at heavier sizes. The italic construction is pronounced, with energetic diagonals in N, V, W, X, and a distinctly slanted lowercase featuring single‑storey a and g and an open, looped e.
This style is well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed with authority. It also performs well for display uses such as headlines and pull quotes, and for branding applications that benefit from a traditional, cultivated serif with noticeable movement.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic slant that reads as literary and established. It balances formality with motion, giving text a polished, expressive cadence rather than a neutral, mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, readable italic serif with classic proportions and a calligraphic surface, offering emphasis and personality while maintaining conventional text-serif familiarity.
Capitals have a strong presence and a slightly sculpted, engraved quality, while the lowercase leans more handwritten in spirit due to its flowing curves and terminal shaping. Figures are similarly italicized and sturdy, suited to running text without feeling delicate.
