A slanted serif design with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a moderate stroke modulation that feels smooth rather than sharp. The letterforms show an oldstyle lean: open counters, softly modeled curves, and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow across words. Ascenders are prominent, lowercase shapes are compact without feeling compressed, and the italic construction favors cursive joins and angled entry/exit strokes over rigid geometric symmetry. Numerals follow the same inclined, serifed treatment with lively curves and clear differentiation.
Well suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, titles, pull quotes, and captions, and for book work that benefits from a classical italic companion. It can also serve in refined branding or packaging where a traditional, authoritative tone is desired, particularly in short lines and display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an elegant, cultured voice that suggests classic book typography and refined editorial settings. Its italic energy feels expressive but controlled, leaning more toward sophisticated emphasis than flamboyant display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic backbone, balancing readability with a graceful, historically informed texture. It aims to provide a polished, dependable italic voice for continuous reading and typographic emphasis.
The stronger diagonal stress and rounded serifs help maintain continuity in longer lines, while the slightly varying glyph widths add a natural, text-like texture. At larger sizes the detailing in terminals and serifs becomes a defining character element, giving headings an understated sophistication.
