A slanted serif with gently bracketed serifs and an overall calligraphic construction. Strokes show a measured thick–thin modulation and smooth, tapered terminals, giving letters a fluid, pen-led rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Proportions lean toward classical, with rounded bowls, softly curved joins, and slightly varying letter widths that keep the texture lively in running text. Numerals share the same italic energy, with open curves and graceful transitions that match the alphabet’s cadence.
It suits book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary passages, and it can also serve for literary titles and refined ephemera. The design’s controlled contrast and classic serif detailing help it maintain a composed texture in continuous reading while still offering expressive movement at larger sizes.
The face reads as traditional and cultivated, combining bookish restraint with a light, lyrical movement. Its italic flow adds warmth and elegance, suggesting a tone suited to refined editorial or ceremonial settings rather than stark utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that echoes classical, pen-influenced forms—aiming for readability with a distinctly traditional, elegant character for sustained composition and typographic emphasis.
In the sample text, word shapes remain distinct and consistent, and the slant is steady without becoming overly decorative. Curved letters (like O/C/S) feel smooth and balanced, while capitals carry a dignified presence with controlled contrast and clear serif articulation.
