A slanted serif with a calligraphic, slightly athletic rhythm and gently modulated strokes. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with smooth bracketed joins that keep forms crisp without feeling sharp. Curves are generous and open, counters are clean, and capitals show a restrained, classical proportioning that stays legible in text. The lowercase has a traditional italic structure with flowing entry/exit strokes and a consistent forward angle; numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with varied heights and a notably descending 9.
Works well for editorial layouts, magazine features, and book typography where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis, captions, or pull quotes. It can also serve brand marks and packaging that aim for a classic, cultured tone, especially when paired with a more neutral roman companion.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition rather than novelty. Its italic voice feels expressive and articulate—suited to emphasis and quotation—without becoming decorative or informal.
Designed to provide a readable, traditional italic with a pen-derived flare and controlled contrast, balancing expressive motion with text-friendly clarity. The goal appears to be an elegant, dependable italic voice for continuous reading and typographic emphasis in editorial settings.
Stroke endings often widen subtly into terminals, reinforcing a flared, pen-informed finish. Spacing appears even in the text sample, and the italic slant is steady across both capitals and lowercase, supporting smooth line flow at paragraph sizes.
