A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals, with a noticeable calligraphic influence in the way strokes thicken and thin along a diagonal axis. Counters are open and rounded, spacing feels comfortable, and the italics have a steady rhythm without becoming overly condensed or flamboyant. Numerals follow the same gently flowing, serifed construction, keeping the overall texture consistent in text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text with a traditional tone. It also fits magazines and literary or academic materials that benefit from a warm, classical serif texture.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, leaning toward a traditional, humanist feel rather than a crisp modern one. Its slant and softened details add warmth and motion, giving paragraphs a graceful, literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serifs reading experience with an italic that feels authentically calligraphic. It prioritizes comfortable rhythm and a familiar literary texture over display eccentricity.
Uppercase forms maintain a calm, classical presence while the lowercase provides more of the cursive energy, especially in letters with curved joins and entry/exit strokes. The overall color on the page is even, with enough contrast to feel refined while remaining readable in continuous text.
