A right-leaning serif with moderate stroke modulation and clearly bracketed serifs throughout. The forms show calligraphic influence: entry and exit strokes taper smoothly, terminals often end in subtle hooks or teardrops, and round letters have an oval, slightly compressed feel. Capitals are relatively upright and stable but still slanted, while the lowercase is more fluid with prominent ascenders and gently cupped joins. Spacing reads comfortable and text-oriented, with a consistent rhythm and a slightly lively, varied color across words due to the slant and tapered strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in print and other editorial contexts where an italic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for literary or cultural headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery, where its flowing stress and bracketed serifs add elegance and emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a courteous, editorial voice. Its slanted serif structure adds motion and warmth, giving the face a graceful, slightly old-world sophistication without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif with an italic character that feels classical and handwritten in spirit. It balances traditional proportions with a gently expressive slant to deliver a polished, editorial texture.
Figures appear lining and italicized, matching the letter slant and contrast; several show curved tops and angled feet that keep them visually integrated with the text. The ampersand is expressive and calligraphic, reinforcing the humanist flavor and making punctuation feel intentionally styled rather than purely utilitarian.
