A slanted serif with an oldstyle foundation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show gently modulated contrast with smooth, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the silhouettes lively and text-friendly. Counters are open and rounded, with a slightly generous fit and a flowing baseline presence; the italic construction favors curved entry/exit strokes and soft joins over rigid geometry. Numerals follow the same angled, bookish character, with elegant curves and restrained detail that reads cleanly at text sizes.
Well suited for long-form reading in books and periodicals, as well as for italic emphasis within a larger text system. It also works effectively in refined display moments—pull quotes, headings, and formal announcements—where a classic italic with measured contrast supports a polished tone.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, evoking printed literature, academic writing, and classic editorial typography. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a quiet elegance to emphasis and quotation-heavy settings.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif voice with an elegant italic slant, balancing traditional book typography cues with enough stroke nuance to feel crafted. The intention appears to be a dependable text companion that brings warmth and authority to editorial settings without calling attention to itself.
The uppercase forms are stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Curved letters and diagonals (such as in v, w, x, y) are handled with graceful tapering, reinforcing a consistent, handwritten-derived motion across the alphabet.
