An italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with tapered joins and crisp terminals, producing a lively diagonal texture in words. Capitals are relatively upright in proportion but still slanted, with generous curves (C, G, O) and sharp wedge-like finishing strokes. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with a single-storey a and g, a curled f, and a descending y that adds forward motion; figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied shapes and smooth contrast.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as book italics, pull quotes, forewords, and emphasis within longer text. It can also serve in refined branding or invitations where a classic, dignified italic voice is desired, particularly at text-to-display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its italic movement feels expressive yet controlled, lending a refined, cultivated character rather than a casual or playful one.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, highly readable italic companion for text, adding emphasis with elegant movement while keeping proportions and contrast restrained for continuous reading.
The design maintains consistent spacing and a steady baseline, while the italic angle and tapered serifs create a continuous, connected feel across words. Counters remain open enough for text use, and the slanted stress adds sparkle at larger sizes without becoming overly delicate.
