This is a slanted serif with gently flared stroke endings and modest, smooth modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: tapered entry/exit strokes, softly bracketed serifs, and a rhythmic, slightly elastic baseline flow. Capitals are open and stately with broad curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and confident diagonals in V and W; joins and terminals stay clean rather than sharp. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a single-storey a and g, a curved ear on r, and a long, expressive f; the italic structure is evident in the angled stress and flowing connections. Numerals are oldstyle-like in feel, with varying heights and more handwritten movement than rigid lining figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic italic voice is desirable. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes or captions that benefit from a warm, formal serif texture.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed text and editorial refinement rather than overt display. Its slant and flared terminals add warmth and motion, giving the font a cultured, humanist voice that feels confident and slightly expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally grounded italic with a touch of calligraphic flair, balancing formality with a gentle organic motion. The flared terminals and controlled contrast aim to keep the texture steady in continuous text while still feeling expressive in headlines and emphasis.
Spacing appears generous in the samples, helping the slanted forms breathe and keeping word shapes clear at text sizes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even color and a cohesive page texture.
