A slanted serif with oldstyle, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with rounded joins and a flowing rhythm that keeps counters open and forms readable in text. The italic angle is consistent and paired with slightly variable character widths, giving lines a natural, written cadence. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence through soft entry/exit strokes and lively curves.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal correspondence or invitations that benefit from a classic, polished tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, cultured feel. Its motion and soft detailing add warmth and a hint of elegance without becoming overly ornamental, suggesting a voice that is formal but personable.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic that leans into humanist, calligraphic cues to enhance flow and readability. It aims to provide a familiar, dependable typographic voice while adding subtle liveliness through its slant, bracketing, and gently varied proportions.
The sample text shows smooth word shapes and a cohesive texture, with clear differentiation between letters in continuous reading. The capitals have restrained flourish, while the lowercase carries most of the expressive movement, creating a balanced hierarchy suitable for mixed-case settings.
