A slanted serif with lively, calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and gently curved joins that keep the rhythm fluid rather than mechanical. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows a slightly more cursive, handwriting-influenced flow; ascenders are prominent and the italic angle is consistent across the set. Figures follow the same angled, old-style sensibility with delicate entry/exit strokes and a cohesive overall color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial and book settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or elegant display lines. It also fits refined branding, programs, and invitations where a traditional, humanist italic can add formality and warmth without sacrificing legibility.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its italic energy feels graceful and expressive without becoming flamboyant, giving text a polished, cultured character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic texture. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading while preserving a timeless, cultivated tone.
Spacing appears even and readable in the sample paragraphs, with smooth word shapes and a steady baseline despite the lively forms. The design maintains consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and numerals through repeated tapered strokes and similar serif treatment.
