A slanted serif design with pronounced slab-like feet and compact, well-controlled curves. Strokes stay mostly even in weight, with subtle modulation and crisp joins, giving the letters a clean, print-oriented rhythm. The capitals feel open and generously spaced, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady baseline, with traditional two-storey forms and a single-storey italic-style “g.” Numerals follow the same slanted construction and maintain an even, readable color in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing structure. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headings with a classical tone, and formal stationery where a refined serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, suggesting classic publishing and thoughtful, composed communication. Its italic flow adds a sense of motion and elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a readable, publication-oriented italic with robust serif support and a calm, even texture. It aims to deliver classic serif credibility while keeping forms open and contemporary enough for modern editorial layouts.
The serifs read as sturdy and stable, helping maintain clarity at text sizes, while the italic angle and rounded bowls keep the texture from feeling rigid. The design balances sharp terminals and smooth curves, producing a crisp, slightly calligraphic flavor.
