An italic serif with softly flared, wedge-like terminals and modest stroke modulation. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a fluid, calligraphic construction, with gently bracketed joins and rounded transitions that keep the texture smooth at text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open counters, while the overall color stays even despite the angled stress and tapered endings.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also work effectively in refined headings and pull quotes, where the slanted rhythm and flared terminals contribute a polished, traditional tone.
The tone feels classical and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic movement typical of italic types used for emphasis. Its lively slant and flared finishing strokes add a refined, traditional character rather than a stark or mechanical one.
Likely intended as a text-capable italic that blends readability with a distinctly traditional, calligraphic serif voice. The controlled contrast and consistent tapering suggest a focus on maintaining an even page texture while still providing expressive motion for emphasis and display moments.
Caps present as dignified and stable, while the lowercase carries most of the dynamism through angled entry/exit strokes and tapered serifs. Figures follow the same italic rhythm and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text, maintaining consistent spacing and a cohesive, old-style feel.
