A slanted serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show moderated contrast with gently swelling curves and crisp, pointed terminals, creating a smooth diagonal rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase is more cursive in motion with narrow joins and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with elegant curves and compact proportions suited to text settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, and quoted passages where an italic voice is needed. It also fits formal communications—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—where a traditional serif with graceful movement supports a refined presentation.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial feel that reads as polished rather than showy. Its consistent slant and soft modulation add a sense of motion and warmth, giving text a cultured, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm—balancing legibility with elegance. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim for an even page color while still delivering a classic, expressive italic character.
In the sample text, the italic angle and tapered serifs produce a continuous, even texture with clear word shapes. Curved letters and diagonals (notably in capitals and the w/x/y forms) emphasize a smooth, pen-like gesture, while counters remain sufficiently open for comfortable reading at moderate sizes.
