A slanted serif with brisk, calligraphic movement and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderated contrast with pointed terminals and subtly tapered joins, creating a crisp but not overly sharp texture. The italics are energetic rather than decorative, with open counters, slightly varied character widths, and a rhythm that feels handwritten while remaining typographically disciplined. Numerals and capitals maintain a traditional book-face structure, with consistent proportions and a clean baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It also works effectively for literary titling, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic, slightly expressive serif italic.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting tradition and editorial polish. Its lively slant and softly calligraphic detailing add warmth and personality, giving text an expressive, human feel without becoming informal.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional serif italic with a touch of calligraphic flair—aiming for comfortable readability, traditional credibility, and an elegant, animated texture in running text.
The design relies on clear serif cues and tapered terminals to keep forms distinct, helping maintain readability even with the pronounced italic angle. Curved letters show smooth, continuous bowls, and diagonals feel springy, contributing to a slightly animated line of text.
