This is an italic serif with a clearly calligraphic construction: strokes lean consistently, terminals are tapered, and serifs are bracketed rather than blocky. Curves show an angled stress, with smooth swelling into stems and a controlled, pen-like modulation that stays even across the set. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open internal spaces that keep letters readable in running copy. Figures follow the same italic rhythm, with oldstyle-like movement and varied shapes that blend naturally with the lowercase.
Well suited to editorial and book settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material, and it can also carry short passages as a primary voice when a classic, formal tone is desired. It should perform best in print-like layouts, poetry, and stationery-style designs where its calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its steady slant and restrained flourish give it an elegant, cultivated feel without becoming ornamental or theatrical.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—prioritizing smooth rhythm, familiar serif structure, and graceful emphasis for text-centric typography.
Uppercase forms are dignified and slightly spacious, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. The ampersand and a few letterforms add gentle, calligraphic character, while punctuation and numerals maintain the same refined, pen-driven cadence.
