A slanted serif with a crisp, lightly weighted skeleton and clear stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often subtly flared, with tapered terminals that reinforce a pen-informed, calligraphic construction rather than rigid geometry. The proportions read generously spaced with open counters and a smooth, continuous rhythm, helping the italic forms stay legible in longer lines. Numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and clean join behavior, giving the set a consistent, polished texture.
Well suited for editorial typography where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads, and it can also serve as a primary text face in calmer, literary layouts. Its open spacing and restrained detailing make it appropriate for print contexts like books, essays, and magazines, as well as formal pieces such as invitations or programs when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, with a classic bookish elegance. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting tradition, discretion, and a measured sense of sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with an italic that adds graceful movement and a classic typographic tone. It prioritizes an even text rhythm, restrained detailing, and familiar letterforms that integrate smoothly into editorial systems.
The italic angle is noticeable and consistent, with rounded forms maintaining smooth curves and sharp, controlled terminals. The shapes avoid heavy ball terminals or exaggerated swashes, keeping the color even and suitable for continuous reading while still feeling distinctly italic.
