A slanted serif with a compact, text-oriented build and a steady, moderate thick–thin pattern. Strokes taper into crisp, bracketed serifs and pointed terminals, giving the letterforms a slightly calligraphic bite rather than a purely mechanical finish. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and Q), while diagonals and joins stay clean, producing an even typographic color. Lowercase forms show a traditional italic structure with single-storey a and g and gently varied widths that create a natural, flowing rhythm across words.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text with a classic tone. It also works effectively for literary and cultural headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a traditional serif italic is appropriate.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a formal, cultured voice. Its slant and sharpened terminals add energy and elegance, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than overt flourish.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic that reads smoothly while adding a touch of calligraphic sharpness. The intent appears to balance classical proportions and readability with a lively, slightly expressive rhythm for continuous text.
Capitals feel dignified and slightly open, with ample internal space in rounded letters and a clear, readable silhouette at text sizes. Numerals follow the same italicized, serifed logic, maintaining consistency for continuous reading and mixed text-and-number settings.
