This is a slanted serif with an oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show subtle pen-like modulation with tapered terminals and soft joins, producing an even, readable color without feeling rigid. The capitals are relatively open and calmly proportioned, while the lowercase is more fluid, with expressive entry/exit strokes and occasional looped or hooked forms (notably in letters like g, k, and w). Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with rounded shapes and light finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well suited for editorial typography, long-form passages with italic emphasis, pull quotes, and refined packaging or brand language where a traditional serif italic is desired. It can also work for invitations and cultural or literary materials that benefit from a humanist, calligraphic accent.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, with a lightly calligraphic warmth rather than a sharp, formal austerity. Its italic voice feels expressive and conversational, suited to elegant emphasis and storytelling, while still maintaining typographic restraint.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, pen-influenced character—balancing classical proportions with enough gesture in the lowercase to feel lively and elegant in continuous reading.
Letterspacing and rhythm read smooth in the text sample, with consistent slant and a continuous baseline flow. Curves are generously rounded and counters remain open, helping the style stay legible despite the more decorative lowercase details.
