A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a consistent broad-nib feel with diagonal stress, producing clean thick–thin modulation without becoming overly sharp. The proportions are moderately narrow with open counters and smooth curves, and the overall rhythm is even and text-oriented rather than display-heavy. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase forms are fluid and connected in motion, with concise ascenders/descenders and a tidy, readable texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended setting. It can also serve in refined titling—chapter heads, pull quotes, and formal announcements—where a classic italic serif texture is desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, polished character that reads as editorial and formal. Its italic posture adds a sense of motion and sophistication, evoking classical publishing and correspondence rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-friendly italic serif that balances elegance with sustained readability. It prioritizes a stable, classical rhythm and familiar serif details while preserving a lively, handwritten-influenced flow in the italic forms.
Letterforms maintain a steady baseline and consistent slant across cases, helping the font hold together in continuous text. Numerals share the same serifed, slightly calligraphic DNA, keeping mixed-content settings cohesive.
