This is a slanted serif with softly bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, slightly tapered stroke flow. Curves are open and generously rounded, with moderate modulation that stays even and readable in running text. The capitals feel stately and traditional, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle inclination with smooth entry/exit strokes and a relaxed, slightly expansive footprint. Numerals follow the same gently modulated, bookish tone, with clear, rounded forms and consistent spacing rhythm.
It works best for continuous reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its gentle modulation and open shapes maintain an even text color. The graceful slant also makes it a strong choice for refined invitations, cultural programs, and other applications that benefit from a traditional, elegant voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a more personal, handwritten slant. It feels refined and calm rather than flashy, lending a cultured, editorial voice that suits long-form reading and formal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience infused with italic warmth and calligraphic movement. It prioritizes comfortable rhythm and a polished, established typographic character suitable for editorial and literary use.
The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, creating a steady forward motion without sacrificing clarity. Serifs remain delicate and well integrated into the stems, and the forms avoid sharp terminals in favor of soft, pen-like endings that keep the texture smooth across lines.
