A slanted text serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Stems show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth, tapered joins and soft terminals, giving letters an oldstyle flavor rather than a rigid, mechanical build. The overall set feels generously proportioned with a calm rhythm and slightly open counters; curves are round and polished, while diagonals and arms taper subtly. Numerals follow the same italicized, flowing logic, with clear, rounded shapes and understated finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or stylistic setting. It can also serve in sophisticated print materials such as programs, invitations, and cultural branding where a classic, humanist serif character is desired.
The font conveys a literary, cultivated tone—more classic and humanist than formal or severe. Its italic posture reads expressive and elegant, suggesting tradition, taste, and narrative voice without becoming decorative or flamboyant.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif with an italic that feels genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for comfortable text color, while the calligraphic details add warmth and refinement for editorial contexts.
In running text the forms maintain a consistent texture, with smooth transitions in weight and restrained detailing that helps keep lines cohesive. The italic angle is pronounced enough to feel dynamic, yet the serifs and proportions remain steady and disciplined, supporting long-form composition.
