A slanted serif with gently bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and subtly sharpened terminals, producing a clean, slightly lively texture. Proportions feel traditional with a moderate x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing reads even in text, with a smooth italic flow rather than a highly cursive structure.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and intros. It also fits formal communications and cultured branding that benefits from a traditional serif italic with a refined, readable color.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and a quiet formality. Its italic slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and elegance without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances elegance with legibility. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and steady rhythm aim to provide a dependable companion for reading-focused settings while adding a graceful slanted character.
The numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, aligning comfortably with the lowercase and reinforcing a text-oriented feel. Capital forms are restrained and stately, while lowercase letters maintain clear, readable silhouettes suited to continuous reading.
