A slanted serif with smooth, calligraphic modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. The strokes show controlled contrast with tapered joins and a gently diagonal stress in rounded forms, giving the letters a flowing rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in capitals, while the lowercase maintains a steady text color with compact bowls and modest extenders. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic construction, with open counters and softly curved terminals that keep the texture even in paragraph settings.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotes, captions, or pull quotes. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and cultural materials when a classic, scholarly tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a quiet elegance that reads as literary and editorial rather than decorative. Its italic voice feels confident and expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a composed, classical atmosphere to text.
This design appears intended as a conventional italic serif for text composition, emphasizing readability and a polished, classical texture while adding gentle calligraphic personality.
Capitals are crisp and upright in structure but consistently slanted, pairing well with the more cursive lowercase. Terminals often finish in subtle hooks or teardrop-like endings, and the italic forms preserve clarity through open apertures and stable spacing in the sample text.
