A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read clearly at text sizes. The forms show a calligraphic influence in the way terminals taper and curves transition into stems, producing a smooth, slightly energetic rhythm. Capitals are relatively restrained and upright in structure despite the overall slant, while the lowercase maintains open counters and balanced proportions for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style-influenced feel, with varied widths and gently flowing curves that keep the texture even rather than rigid.
Well-suited for editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and other places where a classic, refined slanted serif can add hierarchy without calling attention to itself.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial settings. Its italic stance and gently calligraphic finishing add a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that pairs a familiar serif structure with subtle calligraphic liveliness. It aims to provide a dependable, readable texture while still delivering the expressive cues expected from an italic in editorial and book typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for paragraph use, with a consistent diagonal stress and a steady baseline flow. The design avoids extreme contrast or sharp, brittle hairlines, keeping color stable across mixed-case text and punctuation.
