A slanted serif with a crisp, lightly modulated stroke and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into stems. Proportions feel tall and open, with a relatively high x-height and long extenders that give lines a vertical, bookish rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are tidy, and terminals tend toward sharp, angled finishes rather than blunt cuts. Uppercase forms read formal and measured, while the lowercase shows a more written, flowing construction that stays disciplined and consistent across the set.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve for refined headings, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, educated tone without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with an understated elegance suited to traditional reading contexts. Its italic posture feels purposeful rather than decorative, adding a sense of motion and emphasis while maintaining a calm, authoritative voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes smooth reading texture, clear letterforms, and a traditional typographic palette. The aim appears to be a versatile, dependable italic companion that feels formal and contemporary enough for modern editorial composition.
Numerals follow the same slanted, lightly tapered logic as the letters, with clear counters and steady spacing that supports continuous text. The texture in paragraph settings appears even and airy, favoring clarity over drama, with enough detail in the serifs and terminals to keep the page lively without becoming fussy.
