A slanted serif with a disciplined, bookish structure and a clear calligraphic underpinning. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with smooth transitions and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. Capitals are slightly compact and well-contained, while the lowercase has flowing, gently curved joins and a steady, readable cadence. The overall color stays even in text, with crisp terminals and rounded counters that keep forms open.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits formal materials such as programs, announcements, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, suggesting editorial sophistication and quiet authority. Its italic movement adds a sense of motion and finesse without becoming decorative or informal.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable readability and a composed typographic texture, while offering a graceful, traditional slant for emphasis and tone.
Numerals follow the same slanted, old-style sensibility as the letters, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The shapes favor clarity over flourish, with restrained entry/exit strokes and a balanced rhythm that holds together well in multi-line settings.
