A slanted serif design with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation, with tapered terminals and smooth joins that keep the texture even in continuous text. The italic forms are expressive without becoming decorative: curves are open, counters stay readable, and the overall rhythm feels steady. Capitals are elegantly proportioned with restrained flourishes, while lowercase forms keep a consistent forward motion and a balanced, bookish color on the page.
Well suited to book and editorial typography where an italic with strong personality is needed for emphasis, quotes, titles, and pull quotes. It can also serve refined branding, programs, and invitations where a classic serif italic texture and graceful rhythm are desirable.
The font conveys a cultured, literary tone—polished and traditional, with a quiet elegance. Its italic voice feels thoughtful and somewhat formal, suited to emphasis that remains tasteful rather than showy.
Likely designed to provide a traditional, readable serif italic with calligraphic energy—an italic that carries expressive motion while preserving the disciplined proportions and consistency expected for extended reading.
Figures appear text-friendly and harmonize with the italic letterforms, maintaining consistent slant and modulation. The sample text shows good continuity across long lines, with a smooth baseline flow and a cohesive serif vocabulary across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
