A slanted serif with bracketed wedges and smoothly tapered terminals, showing a clear calligraphic influence. The stroke modulation is moderate, with round counters and gently sheared curves that create a fluid rhythm. Capitals feel traditional and stately with crisp serifs and controlled proportions, while the lowercase is more expressive, featuring lively entry/exit strokes, a single‑storey “a,” and a distinctly italic “f” and “g.” Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open shapes and balanced spacing that keeps text color even.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic serif voice is desired. It also works for refined brand systems, cultural institutions, and invitations or packaging that benefit from a classic, articulate tone.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic, cultured voice rather than a loud display attitude. Its slant and softened terminals add warmth and motion, lending a slightly romantic, editorial feel suited to polished reading experiences.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif texture while incorporating authentic italic movement and calligraphic detail. The aim seems to be an elegant text companion that can carry narrative and editorial typography with poise.
The design reads comfortably in continuous text, with consistent serif treatment and a steady baseline despite the italic angle. Round letters maintain good openness, and the italic forms provide emphasis without becoming overly decorative.
