A slanted serif design with crisp, bracketed slab-like serifs and tapered joins that give strokes a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Curves are generous and open, with smooth transitions in bowls and a consistent, even color across text. Capitals are slightly narrow and elegant, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and readable counters; italics are clearly drawn rather than mechanically obliqued. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a bookish, traditional texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the steady texture and open counters support comfortable comprehension. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined headings that benefit from an italic, traditional voice.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated—more academic and editorial than decorative. Its italic movement adds a sense of forward motion and refinement, suggesting formality without becoming rigid or cold.
Likely intended as an italic companion for serious reading environments, combining sturdy serif structure with a graceful slant to deliver both clarity and a cultivated, print-oriented personality.
The design shows careful spacing and steady baseline behavior in text, with clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/J and O/0). Terminals and serifs stay restrained, supporting continuous reading while still giving headlines a distinct, classical character.
