A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderately modulated strokes that feel rooted in broad-nib calligraphy. Curves are full and open with smooth transitions into the serifs, while verticals maintain steady rhythm and consistent color across words. Uppercase forms are slightly wide and stately, and the lowercase shows traditional proportions with rounded bowls and a gently flowing italic construction. Figures follow the same oblique angle and serifed treatment, giving numerals a cohesive, text-oriented presence.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It can also work in magazine layouts and brand identities that want a traditional, premium feel without looking overly ornamental.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting editorial seriousness with a gentle, humanist warmth. Its italic energy reads expressive but not flamboyant, making it feel trustworthy and literary rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary tone. It aims to provide graceful emphasis within running text while retaining a composed, professional texture.
The letterforms maintain a stable baseline and even spacing, producing a smooth text texture in the sample paragraph. Terminals and joins are clean and decisive, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font read as a unified italic style.
