A slanted serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a smooth, calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show moderate contrast with crisp terminals, gently cupped serifs, and a slightly lively, handwritten rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase is compact and text-oriented, with clean joins and a consistent italic flow. Figures appear lining and slightly varied in width, matching the text color and cadence of the letters.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It can also work well in magazine typography and refined print materials that benefit from a classic serif texture and a controlled, elegant slant.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that feels bookish and authoritative. The italic slant and tapered serifs add a hint of elegance and motion, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic designed to read smoothly at paragraph sizes while providing a dignified, literary tone. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on dependable readability paired with a traditional, editorial presence.
The design maintains a steady baseline rhythm and even spacing, producing a coherent text color in the paragraph sample. Curved letters and diagonals carry a noticeable pen-like sweep, and the forms balance readability with a refined, slightly formal character.
