An italic serif with a traditional, oldstyle construction and clear calligraphic influence. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, and terminals often finish in tapered, wedge-like serifs with gentle bracketing. The letterforms lean consistently, with lively curves, slightly open apertures, and a rhythmic, handwritten flow that remains controlled and text-oriented. Numerals and capitals follow the same angled, tapered logic, keeping color even without feeling rigid or mechanical.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or secondary text. It should also work nicely in magazines and literary branding that benefits from a traditional, humanist serif texture without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its slanted, pen-driven shapes feel personable and cultivated, balancing elegance with a quiet warmth suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, readable italic companion with a classic serif vocabulary and a distinctly pen-shaped rhythm. It prioritizes comfortable text color and familiar proportions while adding a touch of calligraphic character for emphasis and tone.
The italic structure reads as a true italic rather than a simple oblique: several lowercase forms show distinctive, more cursive shaping and entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears comfortably open for an italic, supporting smooth word shapes and an even reading texture in paragraphs.
