A slanted serif with classic, calligraphy-informed construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear pen-angle feel with gently tapered terminals and moderated thick–thin transitions, keeping the texture even in running text while still looking lively. Proportions are slightly narrow with compact counters and a relatively low x-height, giving the lowercase a more vertical, bookish rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and capitals have a dignified, traditional silhouette that pairs cleanly with the lowercase’s italic movement.
This style is well suited to book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display lines. It can also work for refined announcements and invitations, and for headings or pull quotes where a classic italic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, editorial flavor. Its italic slant reads as expressive but disciplined, suitable for conveying elegance, emphasis, and a sense of established credibility rather than a casual or playful mood.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a traditional serif foundation—expressive enough for emphasis and display, yet restrained and consistent for extended editorial use.
Details like the gently cupped serifs, rounded entry strokes, and curled forms in letters such as j and y add personality without breaking consistency. Numerals follow the same italic logic and feel integrated, maintaining a cohesive color across mixed text and figures.
