A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The design shows moderate thick–thin modulation and a rhythmic diagonal stress, with slightly tapered joins and subtly flared serifs that soften the silhouette. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with compact counters and a steady baseline rhythm; lowercase forms read as fluid and handwritten-influenced without becoming script. Numerals and capitals maintain the same italic energy, giving the overall texture a lively, forward-leaning cadence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is prominent—book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and introductory paragraphs. The pronounced serif detailing and calligraphic rhythm also fit classic packaging and branding that aims for heritage or craft associations.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a warm, humanist undercurrent. Its italic movement and softened serifs feel expressive and editorial, suggesting tradition and refinement rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif with an expressive italic character—balancing traditional proportions with a subtly calligraphic finish to add warmth and emphasis in text-forward settings.
Across the set, curves are generously rounded and terminals often finish with small, angled wedges, creating crisp word shapes while keeping the color even. The italic slant is consistent and produces an energetic line without excessive narrowness, supporting both short display lines and continuous reading.
