A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letters show a calligraphic underpinning: curved entries and exits, gently tapered terminals, and a lively rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling rigid. Proportions lean broad with open counters and generous spacing, while the italic construction produces flowing joins and angled stress in rounded forms. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, matching the text color and cadence of the lowercase.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif italic can provide emphasis without breaking the text texture. It also suits literary titling, magazine features, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting bookish refinement rather than modern minimalism. Its italic voice feels expressive and slightly ceremonial, suited to contexts where a classic, editorial character is desirable.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with an expressive italic flavor, balancing classical serif details with steady, legible proportions. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals and the even, bookish rhythm suggest an intent toward comfortable continuous text and typographic nuance in editorial settings.
Uppercase forms maintain a restrained elegance with subtle flare at serifs, while the lowercase emphasizes readability through open bowls and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The italic slant is consistent and contributes to a smooth left-to-right movement without becoming overly cursive.
