This is a slanted serif with an oldstyle-influenced skeleton and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear, moderate thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and smooth curves, creating a flowing, pen-like rhythm. Proportions lean narrow in the capitals while the lowercase is more elastic, with open counters and a slightly varied, organic feel across the set. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with curving shapes and delicate finishing details that keep the texture light and continuous in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve well in refined display roles—titles, introductions, and pull quotes—when a classic, flowing serif texture is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial, bookish character. Its slant and calligraphic modulation add a sense of motion and elegance rather than strict neutrality, suggesting a refined, slightly literary voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a traditional typographic color and a distinctly calligraphic cadence. Its moderate contrast and bracketed detailing aim for familiarity and comfort in text while still offering elegance and movement.
Capital forms read clean and composed, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved joins and soft terminals, helping paragraphs maintain a lively texture. In the sample text, spacing and serif shapes support continuous reading without looking rigid or mechanical.
