A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, pen-influenced construction. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm and smooth, tapered joins, giving letters a fluid diagonal movement without feeling overly delicate. Proportions are traditional and slightly varied across characters, with open counters and gently rounded bowls that keep paragraphs readable. Numerals and lowercase follow the same italic logic, with single-story forms and subtle curvature that maintains an even texture in continuous text.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, titles within text, pull quotes, or narrative voice shifts. It can also serve comfortably in refined print materials—such as programs or essays—where a classic, readable italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an elegant, editorial voice. Its italic angle and softened serif treatment lend a cultured, expressive feel suited to nuanced emphasis rather than overt display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that brings a traditional serif palette and a measured amount of calligraphic character. It prioritizes readability in paragraphs while providing an expressive, polished slant for emphasis and editorial hierarchy.
The design’s rhythm is driven by consistent diagonals and curved entry/exit strokes, producing a smooth line of text with a distinctly typographic, bookish color. Spacing appears balanced for running text, and the italics read as purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted.
