A serif italic with smooth, calligraphic modulation and tapered, slightly flared stroke endings that soften into the background rather than terminating bluntly. The overall rhythm is flowing and continuous, with gently arcing entry/exit strokes and subtly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than engineered. Uppercase forms are restrained and balanced, while lowercase shows a more written character with lively joins and a modest slant; round letters maintain even color without becoming overly sharp. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with curved terminals and a graceful, bookish texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, literary tone.
The font reads as cultured and literary, conveying an editorial sophistication suited to long-form reading and formal messaging. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming theatrical, lending a quiet sense of tradition and refinement.
Designed to provide a readable, graceful italic with a traditional serif foundation and a subtle calligraphic finish. The intent appears to be a versatile text-and-display companion that adds warmth and sophistication through tapered, flared terminals and steady rhythm.
Contrast is present but controlled, so the face keeps a consistent gray value across words and lines. The flared terminals and tapered strokes help the italic maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a handwritten elegance in text settings.
