A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and smoothly bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, wedge-like terminals. Curves are generously drawn and slightly condensed by the italic angle, producing a lively rhythm across words. The lowercase shows traditional, bookish proportions with a clear ascender/descender pattern; italic forms are evident in the flowing joins and angled stress, while counters stay open enough for text. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with curving forms and crisp terminals that visually match the letters.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts, where its italic rhythm can add emphasis without sacrificing a traditional text feel. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and introductory paragraphs that need a refined, classic tone with a bit of movement.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, balancing formality with a human, handwritten energy. Its italic texture feels expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting a voice suited to storytelling, commentary, and classic editorial styling.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, readable serif italic for text typography, offering a classic foundation with enough calligraphic influence to give emphasis and texture in running copy.
The italic construction emphasizes graceful entry and exit strokes, creating a continuous left-to-right motion in text. Capital forms remain relatively restrained and traditional, pairing well with the more animated lowercase to keep long passages looking composed rather than showy.
