A refined serif italic with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design leans right with a steady, bookish rhythm, combining sharp entry/exit terminals with fuller curved strokes that create a clear thick–thin pattern. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and a slightly expansive footprint, while details like the angled cross-strokes and tapered joins keep the texture lively rather than mechanical.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an italic is needed for emphasis without losing typographic polish. It also fits literary or cultural headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a classic serif italic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking classic editorial typography and printed literature. Its italic voice reads confident and articulate, with a hint of formality that suits established institutions and considered writing.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif italic with a polished, print-forward character. Its intent seems to balance traditional formality with enough crisp detail and openness to perform reliably in continuous reading and editorial hierarchies.
The slanted forms maintain consistent pressure and contrast across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a clean, even color in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same elegant modulation as the text, helping mixed-content settings feel cohesive and intentional.
