A slanted serif with gently modulated strokes and bracketed serifs that feel softly sculpted rather than sharply cut. The letterforms show calligraphic influence: curves have a subtle diagonal stress, terminals are rounded or lightly tapered, and joins stay smooth and continuous. Proportions are comfortable for text, with open counters and steady spacing; the italics are true, with a noticeable forward lean and mild cursive shaping in several lowercase forms. Figures are lining and similarly slanted, with elegant curves and understated finishing details.
This font fits well in long-form text such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for pull quotes, captions, invitations, and brand messaging that benefits from a classic, humanist tone.
The overall tone is literary and classic, conveying a calm, cultivated voice suited to reading and editorial contexts. Its slant and soft detailing add a personable, slightly romantic character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a touch of calligraphic elegance. It aims to provide a familiar, trustworthy typographic voice while adding expressive movement through its slant and softly finished serifs.
Capital forms keep a restrained, traditional silhouette, while the lowercase provides most of the motion and texture. The italic rhythm is consistent across letters, producing a smooth line flow in longer passages and a refined, handwritten suggestion in display sizes.
