A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, slightly flared serifs that keep the color even while retaining a crisp, traditional bite. The italic construction shows calligraphic influence: entry and exit strokes are tapered, curves are softly tensioned, and terminals often finish with small hooked or teardrop-like forms. Proportions are balanced rather than condensed, with open bowls and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with rounded forms and angled stress that harmonize with the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where an italic serif is needed for emphasis or for whole passages. It can also serve effectively in literary or academic titling, pull quotes, and refined brand or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, text-first voice.
The overall tone is literary and established, evoking traditional book typography with a gently expressive, handwritten undercurrent. It feels formal without becoming rigid, giving text a cultured, human presence suited to editorial voice and narrative content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while adding controlled calligraphic character. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and steady spacing suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph color with enough personality for editorial styling.
Uppercase forms keep a stately silhouette while the lowercase provides most of the motion, producing a pleasant contrast between structure and flourish. The italic angle is consistent across the set, and the spacing appears tuned for paragraph use, maintaining a coherent texture in the sample text.
