A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and softly bracketed serifs that give the outlines a fluid, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and open, with smooth joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture light and airy in running text. Uppercase forms feel poised and traditional, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle influence in its proportions and rhythm, creating a lively, slightly handwritten cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same italic sweep and controlled contrast, producing an even, cohesive color across lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely for pull quotes, subtitles, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic serif with a graceful slant.
The tone is bookish and cultured, with an understated elegance that reads as editorial rather than decorative. Its italic motion adds a sense of movement and grace, making it feel expressive without becoming flamboyant.
The font appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif italic with a traditional foundation and a gentle calligraphic influence. It aims to balance clarity and refinement, offering a polished italic texture that can carry both continuous text and elegant display moments.
The design maintains clear counters and comfortable spacing, helping longer passages stay readable while still showing distinct, characterful silhouettes. Serifs remain delicate and well-integrated, contributing definition at smaller sizes without appearing sharp or heavy.
