A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear but moderate contrast with an oblique stress, giving rounded forms a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are crisp and slightly flared, with tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light and articulate. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with open counters and a steady baseline that supports continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazines where an italic serif is needed for emphasis or for setting entire passages. It can also serve refined branding needs—publisher marks, cultural institutions, event collateral, and invitations—where a traditional, elegant voice is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, balancing formality with a human, handwritten warmth. Its italic flow and tapered detailing suggest a bookish, editorial sensibility rather than a rigid display voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that delivers comfortable readability while adding expressive, calligraphic motion. It aims to provide a polished, literary texture for continuous setting without becoming overly decorative.
Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while lowercase forms lean into a fluid, pen-like motion; the ‘g’ appears single-storey and the ‘a’ is italic, reinforcing the calligraphic bias. Numerals and punctuation match the slanted rhythm, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive color.
