A slanted serif with a calligraphic skeleton and softly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate modulation with clear thick–thin rhythm, and serifs read as bracketed, tapering into the stems rather than sitting as blunt slabs. Curves are generously rounded and the italic construction is evident in the angled entry/exit strokes, particularly in the lowercase. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a balanced x-height and open counters that keep text from feeling cramped.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined typographic color. It can also serve in branding, event materials, and formal invitations when a traditional, cultivated serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an old-style warmth tempered by a controlled, editorial polish. Its italic energy adds motion and sophistication, giving passages a poised, expressive cadence without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditional italic with a distinctly calligraphic feel, using flared endings and moderate contrast to add elegance and movement while preserving a dependable text texture.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same tapered, flared finishing as the lowercase, producing consistent texture across mixed settings. Spacing in the sample text appears even, and the slant is steady enough to read smoothly in continuous lines while still signaling emphasis.
