A slanted serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and a calligraphic stroke logic. Curves show diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, with pointed joins and gently flared terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming brittle. The proportions are balanced with a conventional x-height and clear, open counters; spacing reads even in text, while the italic angle and tapered endings create a subtle, flowing rhythm. Figures follow the same italic construction, with old-style-like movement and smooth curves that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where an italic with strong readability is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and formal correspondence or invitations that benefit from a classic, polished tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional print craft and editorial polish. Its italic character feels expressive yet controlled, lending a sense of refinement and gentle dynamism rather than overt flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. It aims to provide an elegant companion for text settings while offering enough character for emphasis and display moments.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent color and smooth line of reading, with enough modulation to signal typographic voice while remaining suitable for continuous text. The shapes lean on familiar serif conventions, making the design feel established and dependable.
