This is a right-leaning serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and a moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. The curves are generously rounded with a slightly calligraphic stress, and terminals often finish with subtle teardrop or wedge-like shapes. Letterforms show traditional proportions and a steady rhythm, with capitals that feel stately without becoming rigid, and lowercase that maintains clear counters and a smooth, flowing texture. Numerals follow the same italic construction and integrate naturally into text, preserving the overall slanted cadence.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed as a primary texture or for sustained emphasis. It also fits editorial layouts, cultural programming, and formal invitations that benefit from a classic serif tone with a touch of movement.
The face conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and credible, with a gentle warmth from its calligraphic influences. Its slant adds motion and elegance, giving passages an editorial sophistication rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that reads smoothly in paragraphs while retaining a historically grounded, calligraphic character. It prioritizes continuity and rhythm over novelty, aiming for dependable elegance in editorial and literary settings.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even diagonal momentum in longer runs. Serifs remain refined and unobtrusive, supporting readability while keeping a distinctly traditional silhouette.
