A slanted serif with a gently calligraphic build and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show modest modulation with soft joins and rounded transitions, giving the outlines a fluid, handwritten logic rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are moderate and traditional, with open counters and slightly flared terminals that keep text color even in continuous setting. The figures are old-style in feel, mixing rounded forms and angled stress, and the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes that reinforce the cursive rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or secondary text. It can also work for refined stationery and invitations, especially when a classic, literary tone is desired without heavy contrast.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, with a calm, traditional voice that suggests editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its italic slant and calligraphic terminals add warmth and motion, making it feel personable and slightly formal at the same time.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading rhythm and a timeless, humanist character. Its restrained modulation and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for versatility in continuous text while still preserving an expressive, calligraphic slant.
Curves and diagonals carry a consistent forward momentum, and the capital forms balance sharp apexes with softened finishing strokes. In the sample text, spacing and word rhythm read smoothly, with the italic angle contributing to a continuous, flowing line.
