A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation with tapered entry and exit strokes, producing a lively rhythm without feeling overly decorative. Capitals are slightly compact and sturdy, while the lowercase has rounded, oldstyle proportions and pronounced extenders; curves and joins stay smooth and continuous, supporting comfortable word shapes in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, long-form articles, and pull quotes where an italic with strong readability is needed. It can also serve for subheads, captions, and formal invitations or programs when a traditional, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a refined, editorial character. Its italic slant and pen-informed terminals add warmth and motion, giving it a cultured, slightly expressive voice suitable for classic or literary settings.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-ready serif italic with a touch of calligraphic personality. The aim appears to be a balanced blend of elegance and legibility, delivering smooth word shapes and consistent texture for sustained reading.
The numerals follow the same flowing, oldstyle logic as the letters, with angled stress and tapered terminals that keep them visually integrated in running text. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing in the samples suggests a steady texture intended for paragraph use rather than sharp, high-impact display.
