A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Strokes show clear diagonal stress and modest contrast, with smooth transitions into serifs and a gently modulated rhythm across words. Capitals are proportionally broad and stable, while the lowercase has lively, flowing joins and slightly varied character widths that create a natural, text-forward texture. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open counters and crisp, tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for sustained emphasis, quotations, or titling within text. It also fits formal communications—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—and can support refined brand systems when paired with a compatible roman or used for elegant headlines.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined formality that reads as established and trustworthy. Its italic voice feels expressive rather than ornamental, lending an elegant emphasis that remains grounded and traditional.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a traditional, calligraphic construction: expressive enough to signal emphasis, yet restrained and consistent enough to function in continuous reading contexts.
Curves are softly tensioned and the slant is consistent, producing a cohesive line that favors continuous reading. The spacing and sidebearings appear balanced for paragraph settings, while the sharper, chiseled serifs add definition at larger sizes.
