A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Stems show subtle flare and tapered terminals, with soft, bracketed serifs that keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Proportions lean tall in the lowercase, with relatively long ascenders and a compact, energetic rhythm; counters are open and the curves are generously rounded. The italic drawing is clearly intentional, with angled stress and a forward-leaning flow that stays even across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book-related design where an italic-forward voice is desirable. It also fits sophisticated branding, packaging, and display copy that needs a classic serif presence with a warmer, more human rhythm. For longer text, it can work effectively as an accent style for emphasis, quotations, and subheads.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultured, combining traditional serif manners with a lively italic cadence. It reads as refined and slightly informal, suggesting storytelling, commentary, and editorial voice rather than strict corporate neutrality.
The design appears aimed at providing a readable, expressive italic serif with traditional roots and a contemporary smoothness. Its flared, tapered detailing and open forms suggest an intention to balance elegance with comfortable readability and a distinctive editorial tone.
Capitals are clean and slightly narrow in stance, while the lowercase carries more character through curved entries, angled joins, and tapered endings. Numerals match the text color well, with a consistent slant and the same softened serif language, helping mixed text maintain an even, cohesive texture.
