A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction, showing tapered strokes, clearly bracketed serifs, and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms are relatively open and readable, with smooth curves and a consistent forward rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Ascenders are prominent and the italic forms lean on flowing entry/exit strokes rather than sharp terminals, giving the text line a continuous, lively texture. Figures follow the same italic cadence with elegant curves and compact, bookish proportions.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and introductions, and it can also carry refined titling in books, programs, and formal stationery. The consistent rhythm and moderate contrast help it remain clear at typical text sizes while still offering a polished, classical presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that reads as literary and slightly ceremonial. Its italic movement adds warmth and fluency, suggesting sophistication rather than display theatrics.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable serif voice with an elegant italic character—balancing classical book typography cues with smooth, calligraphy-informed motion for expressive but controlled text setting.
Capitals are crisp and slightly narrow with restrained, classical proportions, while the lowercase maintains a steady color and spacing suitable for continuous reading. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey and more handwritten in character, reinforcing the calligraphic influence without becoming script-like.
