A slanted serif with lively, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes show moderate contrast and a steady pen-like rhythm, with angled terminals and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open and readable. Capitals are sturdy and formal, while lowercase forms are more flowing, with gently curved entry/exit strokes and a single-storey “a” and “g” that add warmth. Numerals follow the same italic momentum, with clear shapes and softly rounded curves that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, pull quotes, and introductions where an italic voice is needed. It can also support formal materials like invitations and programs, where a traditional, refined tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a touch of humanist warmth. Its italic slant feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a refined, cultivated voice suited to editorial and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, pen-influenced feel, aiming to balance readability with graceful motion. It prioritizes a familiar, trustworthy structure while adding enough gesture to stand out in editorial and literary contexts.
Spacing and rhythm appear balanced, with consistent serif treatment and a cohesive diagonal stress that keeps lines moving forward. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, supporting long-form readability while still providing emphasis and character.
