A slanted serif with gently bracketed terminals and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are round and open, with moderate stroke modulation and crisp joins that keep counters clear in text. The italics show noticeable entry/exit strokes and tapered serifs, while capitals maintain stable proportions and clean, slightly elongated horizontals. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with rounded forms and subtle foot serifs that help them sit consistently on the baseline.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where an italic serif is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and classical or literary titling that benefits from a traditional, cultivated feel.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and elegance without becoming ornate, giving it a refined, dependable voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a clear calligraphic underpinning—balancing elegance and readability through moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and steady proportions.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm read smoothly at display sizes, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, I/J and O/0). The italic construction emphasizes a continuous handwritten logic, yet remains controlled enough to feel conventional rather than script-like.
