This is an italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphy-led construction and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, gently tapered strokes, and bracketed serifs that soften joins and terminals rather than forming sharp wedges. Counters are open and rounded, with an oblique axis visible in curved letters, and the rhythm feels fluid with subtle entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms. Uppercase italic capitals are relatively restrained and classical, while the lowercase has more pronounced cursive movement and varied terminal shapes.
It suits book interiors and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. The refined, traditional texture also works well for formal communications such as invitations, programs, and literary branding that benefits from a classic serif italic tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its slanted, pen-influenced forms add a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming ornamental, making it feel dignified, readable, and slightly romantic.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, text-oriented italic with clear calligraphic roots—expressive enough to carry emphasis and elegance, but disciplined enough to remain comfortable in continuous reading.
Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle logic, with curved, calligraphic forms that blend naturally into text. The lowercase shows distinctive, gently looped or hooked terminals in letters like a, f, g, and y, contributing to a lively texture in paragraphs while keeping a controlled, consistent color.
