A slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphy-informed construction and a lively, modulated rhythm. Strokes taper smoothly into small, bracketed serifs, with rounded joins and gently cupped terminals that keep counters open and forms readable. Capitals feel slightly narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows pronounced cursive movement with a single-storey a and g, an angled e, and long, sweeping ascenders and descenders that add elegance without becoming overly ornate. Figures appear proportional and similarly slanted, with curved forms and subtle entry/exit strokes that match the text’s overall motion.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve effectively in literary titling, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classical, cultured tone.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—cultured and measured, with a quiet elegance. Its italic flow and restrained detailing suggest editorial seriousness and a classical sensibility rather than display-driven drama.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, conventional serif italic with clear calligraphic heritage, balancing elegance and practicality for extended text. Its details aim to deliver a graceful, traditional texture that integrates smoothly into editorial typography.
In text, the consistent slant and tapered stroke endings create a smooth left-to-right momentum, and the relatively generous apertures help maintain clarity at reading sizes. The overall color stays even, with a slightly lively texture from the calligraphic stroke modulation and brisk curves in letters like k, v, w, and y.
