A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and soft modulation, with bracketed, tapering serifs and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: wide, open counters, steady spacing, and a normal x-height that preserves clear ascender/descender rhythm. The italics are lively and slightly variable in character width, giving lines a natural, handwritten cadence without looking informal.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone and a smooth reading rhythm in short-to-medium passages.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic publishing and cultured editorial use. Its warm, human stroke shaping adds a personable, expressive feel, while the controlled contrast and serif structure keep it authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with a warm, calligraphic undercurrent—more expressive than a strict text italic, yet restrained enough for professional composition. The flared endings and moderated contrast aim to balance elegance with comfortable readability and consistent page texture.
Round forms (like O/0) read full and stable, while diagonals and curves carry a consistent forward motion. Numerals share the same italic energy and modulation as the letters, helping mixed text maintain an even color and flow.
