A slanted serif with a calligraphic backbone, showing gently tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that read as soft, bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs. Contrast is moderate, with diagonal stress apparent in round forms, and curves that feel elastic and ink-driven. Uppercase proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is lively with compact bowls, a single-storey a, and a distinctive italic rhythm that leans forward consistently. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and flowing curves, reinforcing the text-oriented, classical construction.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where an italic with strong rhythm and traditional detailing can carry emphasis without looking ornamental. It also fits literary or heritage-leaning branding, pull quotes, and headings that want a refined, classic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an elegant, bookish warmth rather than sharp modernity. Its italic energy feels expressive and cultured, suggesting quotation, emphasis, and refined editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a text-capable italic that draws on calligraphic construction and classical serif conventions, combining moderate contrast with flared terminals for a distinctive yet familiar reading texture.
The outlines favor smooth joins and subtly swelling stems, giving the letters an engraved or pen-formed character. Spacing in the samples reads even and comfortable for continuous text, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms driven by varied terminals and counters.
