This is a serif italic with clear calligraphic influence and a steady, moderately varied stroke. Serifs are bracketed with subtle wedge-like shaping, and many terminals end crisply, reinforcing a sharp, printed look. The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with gently narrowed, forward-leaning forms and compact curves that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed construction, matching the text rhythm rather than standing apart as purely tabular figures.
It works well for editorial typography—book text, magazine features, and long-form reading—particularly where a dedicated italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles of works, or introductory matter. The consistent slant and controlled contrast help it remain legible and cohesive in paragraph settings at typical text sizes.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an editorial formality that reads as established and trustworthy. Its italic character adds a sense of motion and emphasis while staying restrained, producing a refined, slightly old-style voice suited to serious text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes clear paragraph rhythm and traditional typographic manners. It aims to provide a dependable, literature-oriented voice with enough calligraphic detail to feel crafted without becoming ornate.
Capitals are sturdy and reserved, while the lowercase shows more pen-like modulation and angled joins that strengthen the italic cadence. The font maintains a dark, continuous color in running text, suggesting it is optimized for coherent reading rather than display experimentation.
