A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and moderate thick–thin modulation that reads cleanly at text sizes. The forms show an oblique axis and a lively, pen-influenced rhythm, with tapered terminals and subtly flared joins that keep counters open. Uppercase proportions are traditional and slightly wide-feeling in their spacing, while the lowercase maintains a steady, comfortable x-height and fluid linking motion between curves and stems. Numerals follow the same italicized, calligraphic logic, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke contrast.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic with clear structure is needed for emphasis, subheads, or pull quotes. It can also serve in refined headlines and brand applications that benefit from a traditional serif voice with added motion and personality.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying refinement and a sense of established editorial authority. Its italic slant adds warmth and movement, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental. The style suggests cultivated elegance suited to narrative, quotation, and emphasis-driven typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic cadence. It aims to provide a polished, classic companion style for emphasis and expressive setting while retaining disciplined proportions for continuous reading.
In running text the letterforms maintain an even color with gentle sparkle from sharp serifs and tapered details. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-content settings feel unified.
