A slanted serif with classic, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without extreme hairlines, and the overall drawing favors smooth joins and tapered terminals. Capitals are slightly narrow with crisp finishing strokes, while the lowercase is more organic, with a modest x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and lively entry/exit strokes that keep words moving on the line. Figures follow the same italic logic, with angled forms and serifed details that integrate smoothly into text.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, captions, or pull quotes. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classical, text-serif italic character.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, with an understated elegance that reads as traditional rather than showy. Its italic angle and tapered details add a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive yet controlled.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances readability with a traditional, calligraphy-informed flavor. It aims to provide a graceful, reliable italic texture for continuous reading while still delivering clear emphasis and hierarchy.
The serif treatment stays consistent across cases, and the diagonal stress and tapered terminals create a coherent, continuous texture in paragraphs. In longer samples the letterforms maintain a steady cadence, with enough contrast to feel crisp while remaining comfortable for sustained reading.
