A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and gently tapered strokes that create a subtle calligraphic flow. Curves are round and open, with moderate stroke modulation and a soft, inked texture rather than rigid geometric construction. The lowercase shows traditional text-face forms (two-storey a, looped g, and a compact e), while caps are upright in structure but share the same right-leaning axis and crisp, angled serifs. Numerals read as oldstyle, with varying heights and a slightly handwritten rhythm that keeps the line lively in continuous text.
Well-suited for extended reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also fits literary and academic contexts—chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headings—where a traditional serif texture and a lively slant help carry tone without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, evoking editorial typography and classical publishing. Its italic movement and pointed serifs add a sense of elegance and momentum, feeling more literary than corporate and more historic than contemporary minimal.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic-forward character, balancing readability with a classic, slightly calligraphic finish. Its oldstyle flavor in the figures and serifs suggests an aim toward traditional publishing aesthetics and comfortable long-form typography.
In paragraph setting, the italic slant produces strong forward motion and a distinct texture, with noticeable personality in letters like the looped g, the long-tailed y, and the descending j. Spacing appears tuned for text, giving the sample a cohesive, slightly condensed color that stays readable while retaining a decorative edge.
