A slanted serif with bracketed terminals and an oldstyle, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show gentle modulation and soft joins, with rounded curves and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and forms lively. Capitals are slightly compact and strongly angled, while lowercase maintains steady proportions with clear ascenders/descenders and a smooth, continuous texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with curved forms and traditional detailing that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text. It can also work for magazine decks, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classical serif italic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its italic character feels expressive yet controlled, offering a sense of polish and historical continuity rather than overt modernity.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar print tradition. Its restrained contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic shaping aim to deliver a dependable, elegant italic tone within continuous text.
The face maintains consistent slant and stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing an even typographic color. Curved letters and diagonals carry the strongest motion, giving lines a forward-leaning cadence suitable for emphasis and fluent reading.
