A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and clearly bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence with diagonal stress, open counters, and softly tapered joins that keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Capitals are sturdy and fairly wide, while lowercase forms are more compact and cursive-leaning, producing a lively, uneven rhythm typical of italic text. Numerals and punctuation match the same slanted, serifed construction, maintaining consistent weight and color across mixed content.
Well suited to editorial and long-form settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes while preserving a traditional serif voice. It can also serve in magazine headlines or subheads when a classic, energetic serif texture is desired, and it holds up cleanly in mixed-case text with numerals.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, humanist cadence that suggests printed editorial work rather than stark modern minimalism. Its italic energy reads expressive and cultured—more classic book elegance than high-drama script.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an oldstyle, calligraphic backbone—aimed at comfortable reading and familiar typographic authority while adding forward motion and emphasis through a restrained, consistent slant.
The slant is steady and purposeful, and the serif shaping avoids slab-like bluntness in favor of subtle curvature. Curved letters (like C, O, S) retain smooth modulation, and the italic forms create noticeable forward motion in longer passages without becoming overly ornamental.
