A slanted serif with classic, bookish proportions and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with smooth, bracketed serifs that often resolve into slightly wedge-like terminals. The rhythm is fluid and varied: curves are round and open, joins are softly tapered, and many letters carry subtle entry/exit flicks that keep the texture lively. Lowercase forms read comfortably with a moderate x-height, while capitals are stately and more vertical in presence, creating a traditional headline-to-text hierarchy.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or dedicated text. It also fits refined display applications—quotations, pull quotes, invitations, and cultural or academic branding—where a classic serif italic can convey sophistication and tradition.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, suggesting printed literature and established editorial design. Its italic angle and nuanced terminals add a graceful, expressive voice without becoming ornate, balancing formality with warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic that feels at home in editorial and literary settings, prioritizing readability while offering a gently expressive, calligraphic slant for emphasis and tone.
Letterforms show a consistent diagonal stress and carefully shaped bowls and counters that keep word shapes distinct. Numerals and capitals retain the same refined serif language, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive and polished.
