A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings that suggest a broad‑nib, calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear but restrained contrast, with smooth modulation through curves and joins. Proportions are relatively open and spacious, with rounded forms (C, O, Q) and gently extended diagonals that create an airy rhythm. The italic is lively without becoming decorative, maintaining steady alignment and consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and long-form reading where a graceful italic voice is needed. It can also support elegant branding and formal communications—particularly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined invitations—where its tapered serifs and steady rhythm add a classic finish.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and quiet sophistication. Its motion and tapered details add warmth and personality while staying firmly in an editorial, bookish register rather than a flashy display style.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a calligraphic undercurrent—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with a lively, flowing slant for emphasis and sophisticated tone in text-driven layouts.
The capitals feel formal and stable, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals appear proportional and slightly stylized, matching the italic flow and serif detailing for cohesive text setting.
