A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals, with rounded, slightly organic curves that keep the texture lively rather than rigidly geometric. Proportions feel generously set, with open bowls and clear counters; ascenders are noticeably tall and the overall spacing reads comfortable in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with smooth curves and understated finishing strokes.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text. It can also serve refined titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations where a traditional serif tone is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—cultured and traditional, with an understated elegance. Its italic motion adds a sense of movement and refinement, suggesting literary, editorial, and academic contexts rather than overt display styling. Overall it feels composed and authoritative without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and an elegant, classical texture. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic slant aim to provide a dependable typographic companion for extended reading while still delivering a distinct, refined personality.
In the sample text, the slanted axis and consistent serif treatment create a cohesive line rhythm, especially in mixed-case passages. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same restrained, pen-influenced shaping, helping longer paragraphs maintain a continuous, smooth typographic color.
