A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and often slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep the color crisp at text sizes. The overall rhythm is lively and angled, with open counters and a gently varied, handwritten-like stroke flow that reads as crafted rather than mechanical. Numerals and capitals maintain an elegant, traditional proportioning, pairing sharp hairlines with fuller stems for a polished page texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its refined contrast and traditional serif detailing support an elevated tone. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, and formal communications such as invitations or announcements that benefit from an elegant italic voice.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish tone—poised and traditional, with a touch of humanist warmth from its italic movement. It feels suitable for classic publishing contexts where sophistication and clarity are both valued.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic with classical proportions and calligraphic modulation, offering a graceful companion for formal text typography and editorial composition.
The italic angle is consistent and gives words a continuous forward motion, while the high contrast and fine serifs make it look best when given enough size and breathing room. The overall impression is conservative and timeless rather than decorative, with details that reward high-quality print or screen rendering.
