An italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs that meet stems squarely and read as small rectangular flags at stroke ends. The drawing favors smooth, calligraphic curves and tapered joins rather than mechanical geometry, giving letters a slightly handwritten rhythm while keeping a consistent typographic structure. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with generous internal counters (notably in C, O, Q) and clear entry/exit strokes that emphasize the slanted movement. Lowercase shows a compact, readable skeleton with a two-storey g, a single-storey a, and a lively, looped y; terminals often finish with subtle wedges or short slabs, reinforcing the serifed texture without heavy contrast. Numerals are old-style in spirit with varied widths and curved forms, blending comfortably with the lowercase color in running text.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or expressive passages. It also suits magazine features, cultural institutions, and invitation or program typography that benefits from a classic, serifed tone without appearing overly formal.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, evoking printed book typography and editorial settings. Its italic movement adds elegance and a mild sense of motion, while the squared slab details keep it grounded and dependable rather than ornate. The result feels cultured and slightly vintage, suitable for refined but approachable communication.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, text-friendly italic with slab serif authority, combining traditional book-italic cues with squared, unbracketed serif finishing. Its goal seems to be a balanced blend of warmth and discipline: expressive curves and lively rhythm supported by clear, sturdy serif structure.
The face maintains a consistent rightward slant across cases, and spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even, lightly textured line. Serifs are present on both straight and curved strokes, helping words hold together at text sizes while still showing distinctive italic entry strokes in capitals.
