A slanted serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a clear, moderately contrasted stroke rhythm. The capitals are broad and steady with gently flared joins and sharp, slightly wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow with single-storey forms and angled entry/exit strokes. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the italic construction keeps forms readable rather than overly decorative. Numerals follow the same oblique logic, with lively diagonals and crisp finishing strokes that match the text face.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine articles, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or quoted passages. It also works effectively in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements where a traditional serif italic can add sophistication without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a touch of handwritten energy. Its slant and tapered details add motion and elegance, giving text a cultivated, editorial voice rather than a purely formal one.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif italic: to provide a fluent, readable companion style with a classic typographic character. Its balanced contrast and bracketed serifs aim for dependable performance in paragraphs while still delivering an elegant, expressive slant.
The design maintains consistent slant and serif treatment across cases, with a slightly lively baseline feel typical of text italics. The sample paragraphs suggest strong word-shape continuity and clear differentiation between similar characters, supporting comfortable continuous reading.
