A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals, showing moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. The forms are compact and rhythmically uneven in a natural way, with rounded bowls, modestly angled stress, and slightly varied character widths that create a flowing texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same gently carved feeling, with crisp joins and subtle flare at terminals that keeps the face sharp without becoming spiky.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic, traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for quotes, leads, and formal correspondence or invitations, where its refined slant and bracketed serifs can add emphasis and elegance without overpowering the page.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and historical continuity rather than a modernist or utilitarian voice. Its italic movement adds warmth and momentum, giving text a cultivated, expressive cadence that feels suited to formal or narrative settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a classical, calligraphic sensibility. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and variable character widths aim to produce a comfortable, lively text texture appropriate for sustained reading and typographic hierarchy.
In the sample text, the slant and modulation produce a coherent paragraph color with a lively baseline rhythm. The letterforms maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a handwritten-derived character through curved entries, angled strokes, and nuanced serif shaping.
