A crisp italic slab serif with clean, square-ended serifs and a steady, restrained stroke modulation. The letterforms show generous curves and open apertures, with a noticeably calligraphic forward lean that keeps counters clear and spacing even. Serifs read as compact blocks that anchor the strokes without heavy bracketing, while the overall rhythm stays smooth and legible in continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and gentle curves that harmonize with the italic texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where an italic with strong structure is needed for emphasis, quotations, subheads, or pull quotes. It can also serve branding or packaging that aims for a traditional, literary tone while maintaining clarity at text sizes.
The tone is bookish and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography rather than display exuberance. Its italic energy feels traditional and articulate, lending a thoughtful, measured voice to headlines and paragraphs alike.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally flavored italic that pairs a calligraphic slant with sturdy slab-like terminals, balancing refinement with firmness for extended reading and typographic emphasis.
Capitals are poised and slightly formal, while lowercase forms (notably the looping italic shapes and the single-storey-like movement in letters such as a and g) contribute a fluent reading line. The texture remains airy and orderly, making the face feel polished without becoming precious.
