A slanted serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth curves and gently tapered terminals, creating a lively, continuous rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with rounded forms, open counters, and slightly varied character widths that keep the texture organic rather than rigid. Numerals and capitals follow the same italic axis, with curving entries and exits that reinforce the overall movement.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or sustained reading at comfortable sizes. It can also serve in formal stationery and invitations, or for pull quotes and headings that benefit from a refined, classical texture.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional without feeling cold. Its italic energy reads as elegant and expressive, suggesting editorial sophistication and a subtly handwritten undercurrent. Overall, it feels suited to refined communication where warmth and credibility matter.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while retaining a distinctly calligraphic, humanist flavor. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to balance elegance with dependable text rhythm for professional publishing contexts.
In the sample text, the italic angle and moderate contrast produce a smooth, even color at larger sizes, while finer details and tapered joins suggest it will look best when given a bit of breathing room. The ampersand appears traditional and graceful, aligning with the text-italic personality.
