A slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep the color even despite the italic angle. Capitals are slightly expansive with elegant curves and open counters, while lowercase forms stay readable with a steady x-height and generous, flowing extenders. Overall spacing feels open and rhythmic, supporting continuous text without looking rigid.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine-style layouts where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works nicely for pull quotes, introductions, and formal announcements or invitations that benefit from a classic, refined tone.
The face reads as cultured and literary, with an old-world, editorial tone. Its italic movement and soft finishing details lend a sense of elegance and human warmth rather than sharp formality, making it feel suited to classic writing and refined presentation.
Designed to provide a conventional serif texture with a distinctly italic, humanist flow—balancing traditional proportions with smooth, readable forms for text-centric applications.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, and many forms lean on curved entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, forward cadence in text. Numerals follow the same slanted, moderately modulated treatment, keeping figures visually integrated with surrounding words.
