This is a serif italic with a clear calligraphic construction: strokes taper into gently bracketed serifs and show moderate thick–thin modulation. The letterforms have a noticeable rightward slant and a fluid baseline rhythm, with rounded joins and softly cupped terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Capitals are slightly wide and elegant, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height with open apertures and generous counters. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with oldstyle-like proportions and curved strokes that blend naturally into text.
It suits extended reading in print-oriented contexts such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary hierarchy. It also works well for refined titling, pull quotes, and formal stationery when a classic, cultured feel is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its slanted, hand-influenced forms add warmth and motion, giving text a refined, cultivated voice without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement, prioritizing smooth paragraph texture and comfortable readability while retaining a distinctly elegant, editorial character.
The spacing and shapes create an even, continuous color in paragraphs, with enough curvature and terminal detail to stay expressive at larger sizes. Diagonals and entry/exit strokes contribute to a lively flow, especially in words with many rounds and descenders.
