A slanted serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like terminals and gently tapered strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: curved joins are smooth, counters are open, and the italic construction gives many glyphs a forward-leaning, continuous flow. Proportions feel moderately compact with rounded bowls and understated detailing, while capitals maintain clear structure and controlled flare. Numerals follow the same italic logic with rounded forms and restrained modulation for a steady, text-friendly color.
Well suited for long-form reading environments such as book interiors, essays, and magazine text where an italic serif is needed for sustained passages. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and any typographic emphasis that benefits from a classic, graceful italic texture.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting a traditional, literary voice rather than a loud display presence. Its italic energy reads expressive but disciplined, lending a refined, slightly formal character suitable for nuanced emphasis.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic companion for text settings, prioritizing continuity and readability while adding a measured, traditional elegance. Its restrained details and consistent rhythm aim to support extended reading without losing the expressive qualities expected from an italic serif.
Serifs are consistently small and bracketed, with terminals that often finish in subtle teardrop or wedge shapes. The slant and curvature create an even cadence across words, keeping lines cohesive and readable in continuous text.
