A slanted serif design with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show gently modulated contrast with rounded joins and soft terminals, keeping the texture even and readable at text sizes. Proportions are traditional rather than condensed, with slightly varied letter widths and lively, angled stress in rounded forms. The italic is expressive but controlled, with smooth entry/exit strokes and a consistent rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine features and other editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also serve for refined stationery or invitations, especially when a traditional, cultured impression is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, suggesting classic book typography and editorial polish. Its italic slant and nuanced terminals add a human, handwritten warmth while remaining formal enough for professional publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical proportions with a subtly calligraphic rhythm. It prioritizes a smooth reading color and a graceful, familiar typographic voice for print-like and editorial settings.
Capitals appear restrained and upright in spirit despite the slant, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same serifed, gently tapered approach, keeping them harmonious with running text.
