A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show subtle modulation and soft transitions, with open counters and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that reads as drawn rather than mechanical. Capitals are poised and traditional, while the lowercase has flowing joins and distinctive, looped forms that emphasize movement. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with curving terminals and a text-friendly presence.
Well suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, and quoted material where an italic voice is needed. It can also work for refined printed pieces such as invitations, programs, and cultural communications that benefit from a traditional, humanist tone.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial sensibilities. Its italic stance and pen-influenced details convey warmth and personality while staying firmly within a traditional, bookish register. It feels appropriate for classic, formal communication rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing classical proportions with expressive stroke endings and a fluid rhythm suitable for extended text.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the design relies on tapered terminals and soft serif joins to maintain continuity in longer passages. Spacing appears comfortable in text, with clear word shapes and a smooth, forward-leaning cadence.
