A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and tapered with gentle bracketing, and many terminals finish in angled, slightly flared strokes that keep the texture lively. The capitals feel stately and traditional, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence—single‑storey forms and subtle entry/exit strokes create a flowing line without becoming script. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, producing an even, readable color in continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or expressive passages. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography when a classical, print-oriented tone is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking editorial tradition and classical print. Its italic movement adds a graceful, slightly expressive voice that feels more human than mechanical, suited to nuanced or narrative settings.
Likely designed to provide a traditional, text-oriented serif italic with a calligraphic underpinning—balancing familiar book typography with enough slant and terminal character to give emphasis and personality in running text.
The figures appear oldstyle in construction, with varying heights and a text-friendly rhythm that integrates smoothly with lowercase. In longer passages the slant and tapered details create a gently animated texture, so it reads as elegant rather than strictly utilitarian.
