A slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic skeleton and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and softly flared, with tapered entry/exit strokes that keep joins and terminals smooth rather than sharp. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are broad and steady, lowercase has rounded bowls and a measured rhythm, and counters stay open enough for continuous text. The italic construction shows flowing diagonals and gently cursive forms (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y), while figures follow the same angled, serifed treatment for a cohesive texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, or introductions. It can also serve for refined headings and subheads when a traditional, serif-italic character is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning toward refined and slightly formal. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and elegance, suggesting quotation, emphasis, and cultured voice rather than blunt display impact.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic that carries classical typographic cues—bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and a calligraphic slant—aimed at comfortable reading and credible editorial tone.
Stroke endings and serifs resolve with subtle tapering that helps prevent a heavy, mechanical feel. The texture in paragraphs appears even, with consistent spacing and a stable baseline, making the style feel mature and editorial rather than experimental.
