A slanted serif with clear calligraphic influence and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with slightly flared terminals and smooth, continuous curves that keep the texture even in text. Uppercase forms feel restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement—especially in the diagonals and curved strokes—creating a lively rhythm without becoming ornate. Numerals and punctuation follow the same angled stress and balanced proportions, maintaining a cohesive, readable color across lines.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif can carry paragraphs gracefully. It also works effectively for emphasis, quotations, pull quotes, and refined print pieces such as programs or invitations that benefit from a traditional, polished tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, editorial voice. Its italic flavor feels expressive and slightly romantic, suggesting a refined, traditional sensibility rather than a modern minimalist one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic with enough calligraphic nuance to feel warm and expressive, while keeping structure and consistency appropriate for text-heavy settings.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading. Curved letters and joins show soft transitions, giving the design a smooth, pen-driven character and a composed page texture.
