An italic serif with smoothly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a gentle diagonal stress that gives the forms a calligraphic flow. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming high-contrast, and the joins are rounded enough to feel fluid while remaining crisp at display sizes. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and compact, sturdy letterforms; the numerals and capitals keep a restrained, bookish presence with consistent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other extended reading contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary hierarchy. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal correspondence where a classic, refined tone is desired.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking printed literature and traditional publishing. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes read as elegant and authoritative rather than decorative, lending a sense of seriousness and polish to longer passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a traditional, pen-influenced elegance. It prioritizes steady texture and familiar proportions while using tapered details and moderated contrast to keep the page color lively.
Curves are carefully controlled with clean entry/exit strokes, and many letters show subtly hooked or tapered finishes that reinforce the italic motion. Spacing appears even in the sample paragraph, supporting continuous reading while preserving a lively, handwritten-like cadence.
