A high-contrast italic serif with an oldstyle foundation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, with smoothly bracketed serifs that taper into pointed, slightly flared terminals. Counters are generous and softly rounded, while joins and curves stay fluid and energetic rather than rigidly geometric. The lowercase features compact, slightly irregular italic forms with lively entry/exit strokes, giving the overall texture a dynamic, rolling line suitable for continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis or immersive typography. It can also serve in refined invitations, programs, and heritage-leaning branding where a classic, calligraphic serif voice is appropriate.
The tone is traditional and literary, conveying refinement with a warm, human touch. Its energetic italic movement reads as expressive and cultured rather than flashy, suggesting editorial seriousness and classical taste.
Likely designed to provide a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a more handwritten, oldstyle flavor, balancing readability with a distinctive, cultured motion on the line.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with a consistent slant and a pronounced baseline flow. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic posture, reading like text figures that blend naturally into running copy rather than standing apart as display numerals.
