An italic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The forms show diagonal stress and rounded joins, with smooth curves and moderately open counters that keep paragraphs readable. Letterfit is even but not rigidly mechanical, and the overall texture is airy with a consistent forward slant. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with flowing curves and clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book design where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also support refined branding and invitations when a classic, cultured serif italic is desired at medium to larger sizes.
The tone feels literary and traditional, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display flash. Its italic movement reads expressive yet controlled, giving text a cultivated, editorial voice suited to classic, formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, calligraphy-informed rhythm—aiming for comfortable readability while providing a distinct, elegant emphasis style within a traditional typographic palette.
Uppercase shapes retain restrained classical construction while maintaining noticeable italic momentum. Lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and a looped “g,” reinforcing an oldstyle, humanist flavor and helping the italic feel more handwritten than engineered.
