A slanted serif with sturdy, compact forms and clearly bracketed serifs that feel slightly wedge-like at their tips. Strokes show gentle modulation and a calligraphic influence, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Counters are moderately open, ascenders are prominent, and the italics are built as true drawn forms rather than a simple slant, giving the lowercase a fluid, rhythmic movement. Overall spacing reads even in text, producing a dense but comfortable color suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an italic serif with strong presence can carry emphasis without losing readability. It also works effectively for display-driven applications—pull quotes, headlines, and packaging—when a classic, slightly spirited tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, human touch that recalls printed editorial typography. Its slanted motion and softened detailing add energy and approachability, keeping it from feeling overly formal or mechanical. The result is a classic voice that can feel both refined and inviting.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif interpreted through an italic, calligraphy-informed lens: readable, sturdy, and traditional, but with enough motion and soft shaping to add personality in both text and display use.
Capital letters have confident, slightly flared serifs and a stable stance, while the lowercase shows more cursive-like shaping (notably in letters such as a, f, and y), reinforcing the italic character. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the text weight and maintaining the same serif and modulation logic.
