A slanted serif with calligraphic, oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderated contrast with tapered joins and a soft diagonal stress, giving curves an organic, written rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric feel. Proportions are relatively narrow and lively, with open counters and a smooth, continuous flow through bowls and shoulders; numerals and capitals share the same polished, slightly pen-influenced modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, captions, or quotations. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a classical serif tone and smooth italic cadence are desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an elegant, cultivated character. Its italic slant and tapered detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting editorial seriousness more than loud display.
The font appears designed as a conventional, text-friendly italic serif that balances readability with a traditional, pen-influenced elegance. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to provide a credible, classic typographic color while adding graceful movement on the line.
The design maintains consistent italic rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with crisp terminals and subtly varied letter widths that keep word shapes active. Spacing in the samples reads comfortable and text-oriented, with clear differentiation between similar forms.
