This is a slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs. Strokes show moderated contrast, with thin hairlines and sturdier main stems, and a smooth, continuous rhythm through curves and joins. The forms are relatively open and generously spaced, with long ascenders/descenders and a noticeable rightward lean that gives the design a lively forward motion. Numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic, with clean terminals and consistent stroke modulation.
Well suited to long-form and editorial settings where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles. It also fits refined print applications such as invitations, cultural programs, and brand systems that want a classic, traditional voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a literary, editorial feel. Its italic posture and tapered details add a sense of sophistication and motion, suggesting formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic slant. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and open spacing suggest an emphasis on comfortable text color while retaining elegance for display-sized typography.
Uppercase shapes read crisp and stately, while the lowercase emphasizes fluidity through looping entries and soft terminals. The ampersand in the sample text appears expressive and calligraphic, matching the font’s italic character and reinforcing its classic text-italic identity.
