A slanted serif with smooth, calligraphic modulation and gently tapered, flared terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke contrast with soft bracketed serifs and rounded joins that keep the rhythm even and readable. Uppercase proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in feel, while lowercase forms are open and lively, with a double-storey “g” and an italic “a” that reinforce a traditional text-face structure. Numerals follow the same angled stress and serif treatment, with clear, old-style-like curves and steady spacing.
Works well for editorial typography, long-form reading, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming decorative. It can also suit refined branding, cultural communications, and formal stationery that benefits from a traditional serif italic with a warm, literary presence.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking editorial tradition and quiet elegance rather than sharp modernity. Its italic color feels expressive but controlled, suitable for emphasis that still reads as serious and composed.
The design appears aimed at providing a dependable, traditional italic companion for text—expressive enough for emphasis and titling, yet restrained and consistent for sustained reading. Its flared terminals and measured contrast suggest an intention to bridge calligraphic heritage with contemporary production smoothness.
Diagonal stress and angled entry strokes create a consistent forward motion across words, and the serifs remain understated rather than heavy. Counters stay relatively open in letters like e, a, and s, helping maintain clarity at text sizes while preserving a distinctly classical texture.
