A slanted serif with a distinctly oldstyle, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, producing warm thick–thin modulation rather than sharp Didone hairlines. Capitals are sturdy and compact with pronounced, slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase has lively, slightly irregular rhythm and a noticeable forward lean. Curves are generous and the joins are smooth, giving the forms a polished, bookish texture; numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, journals, and magazine features where an italicized serif texture is desirable. It also performs well for pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding that wants a classic, editorial feel without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial confidence that feels established rather than trendy. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis while keeping a dignified, classical voice suitable for serious content.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with an italicized, calligraphy-influenced personality—prioritizing continuous rhythm, comfortable readability, and a historically informed tone.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and often wedge-like, which helps maintain readability at text sizes while still looking expressive in display settings. The italic stance is continuous across letters and figures, creating a unified slanted rhythm in mixed-case text.
