A slanted serif design with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, pen-like finish. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and moderate apertures; the italic construction keeps counters clear while adding forward motion. Stroke modulation is subtle, and the joins and terminals feel slightly organic rather than rigid, producing an even, readable rhythm across text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and traditional letterforms, while numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, understated texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, particularly for italic roles such as emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It can also support refined branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, polished serif italic.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an elegant, cultivated voice suited to editorial and cultural contexts. Its italic slant and flared endings add warmth and sophistication without becoming overly decorative, suggesting a calm, confident refinement.
Likely designed as a versatile serif italic that balances calligraphic warmth with text-first legibility. The flared, bracketed finishing and restrained modulation point to an intention of providing a classic voice with a smooth reading rhythm in paragraph settings.
The italic forms show a lively cursive influence—especially in letters with sweeping diagonals and gently curved entry/exit strokes—yet remain restrained enough for continuous reading. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, helping the slanted shapes maintain clarity and an even color.
