A slanted serif with a traditional text-face skeleton and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with an oblique, calligraphic modulation, and terminals often finish in rounded or subtly teardrop-like forms that keep the texture fluid. Counters are generally open and shapes are generously proportioned, producing an even, readable rhythm in running text. Numerals and capitals share the same italic energy, with curved entries/exits and steady spacing that favors continuous word flow.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary text. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and front-matter styling when a classic serif italic is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its italic motion adds a persuasive, literary voice—confident and refined rather than flashy. The shapes feel warm and human, suggesting careful craft and a slightly historical flavor.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif italic that balances traditional forms with a lively, handwritten-derived rhythm. It prioritizes comfortable reading texture and a familiar editorial presence, offering clear emphasis for typographic hierarchy.
In the grid, the serif treatment remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive text color. The italic angle is noticeable without becoming steep, and the design maintains clarity through moderate contrast and open interior spaces.
