A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clear calligraphic influence. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm and diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and softly modeled joins that keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Proportions are slightly condensed in some capitals with wide, stable rounds (notably O/Q), while the lowercase maintains open counters and a steady, readable rhythm at text sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same italic momentum, with lively curves and crisp entry/exit strokes that reinforce the forward motion.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also works effectively for literary or cultural headlines and pull quotes that benefit from a classic serif italic texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial polish. Its italic energy reads confident and cultivated, giving text a refined, slightly dramatic voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with classical proportions and restrained contrast, optimized for a smooth text rhythm and a distinctly elegant emphasis style.
The italic forms are consistently angled across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive page color. Curves and diagonals (S, C, G, V, W, y) carry much of the character, with a gentle, pen-driven modulation that stays controlled and even in longer passages.
