A slanted serif design with moderate stroke modulation and smoothly bracketed serifs throughout. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence with diagonal stress in rounded characters and softly tapered terminals, while keeping a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are relatively restrained and upright in structure despite the italic slant, and the lowercase has flowing, slightly calligraphic joins and curves. Numerals follow the same italic angle and modulation, with open counters and clear differentiation.
Well suited to book and editorial settings where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It can also serve in formal communications such as invitations or programs where a refined, traditional serif italic is appropriate.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a composed formality suited to long-established editorial and book typography. Its italic movement adds elegance and a mild sense of motion without becoming flashy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary color, providing an elegant companion style for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
Curves are generously drawn and transitions into serifs are smooth rather than abrupt, helping maintain continuity at text sizes. Spacing appears even and the slant is consistent across letters and figures, giving paragraphs a cohesive forward-leaning texture.
