This is a slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, pen-influenced construction. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered terminals and finely cut joins, giving letters a slightly calligraphic snap without becoming ornamental. Capitals are elegant and open, with restrained proportions and smooth curves; the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact bowls, narrow apertures, and gently hooked or teardrop-like terminals in letters such as a, f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style leaning behavior, with curved forms and delicate finishing details that keep the overall color even at text sizes.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a classic italic voice is needed. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—especially for emphasis, quotations, and refined headings that benefit from a traditional serif texture.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that suggests literature, academia, and heritage branding. Its italic stance reads expressive yet controlled—more scholarly emphasis than flamboyant script—conveying a sense of refinement and authority.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif italic with a disciplined, historically informed feel—aimed at readable composition while providing a graceful, expressive slant for emphasis and elegant display moments.
The indicated contrast and tapered details make the face feel best when it has enough size or print quality to preserve the sharp serifs and terminals. The slant is consistent and measured, supporting fluent word shapes and smooth line flow in continuous text.
