A slanted serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with softly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. The letterforms show a gentle, humanist rhythm: rounded bowls, slightly open apertures, and diagonals that feel elastic and continuous. Lowercase proportions read balanced with a moderate x-height, while the italic movement is consistent across letters and figures, producing a smooth, cohesive line of text.
Well suited to editorial typography and long-form reading where an italic with strong serif identity can carry emphasis gracefully. It can also serve refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a classic, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display exuberance. Its italic slant and softened, pen-like shaping add a sense of elegance and motion, making the voice feel cultured and editorial. The texture remains calm and readable, conveying a dependable, established character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes continuous reading rhythm and a familiar, classical voice. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to balance elegance with practical legibility across paragraphs and mixed alphanumeric settings.
The numerals follow the same italic momentum and modulation as the letters, helping mixed text feel unified. Capitals are relatively restrained in width with clear serif articulation, supporting a stable headline presence without overpowering the line.
