This is an italic serif with bracketed, sharply tapered serifs and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Strokes show clear modulation with pointed terminals and delicate entry/exit strokes, producing a crisp, high-contrast impression without feeling extreme. Proportions are slightly condensed with a pronounced rightward slant and lively rhythm; counters remain open and the overall texture stays even in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with oldstyle-like movement and curved, serifed details that blend naturally with the letterforms.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic with strong tradition and clarity is needed. It also works well for literary titling, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a refined, classic italic tone is desirable.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its slanted, pen-influenced shapes add a sense of motion and sophistication, making the voice feel formal yet expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic construction—prioritizing a familiar literary voice, smooth word rhythm, and elegant emphasis within paragraphs.
Curves are drawn with a gentle, continuous tension, and many terminals end in fine points that sharpen the silhouette at display sizes. Spacing appears balanced for running text, while the italic angle and tapered joins give words a distinct diagonal energy.
