This italic serif has a smooth, right-leaning cursive construction with gently bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation, with long, flowing entry and exit strokes that create a continuous, forward rhythm. Capitals are slender and slightly swashy in feel without becoming ornamental, while the lowercase features narrow proportions, open counters, and softly drawn joins that keep word shapes clear. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, reading as elegant text figures rather than rigid, mechanical forms.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve in refined display roles such as invitations, programs, and headings that benefit from a classic, calligraphic italic presence.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional print refinement and a calm sense of authority. Its steady italic motion and delicate terminals lend a graceful, composed voice suited to formal and expressive settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a graceful, calligraphy-informed cadence. It aims to provide a refined italic voice with consistent proportions and moderate modulation for comfortable continuous reading.
Spacing appears comfortably open for an italic, helping the slant and long terminals breathe in running text. The design maintains consistent stroke behavior across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive texture at paragraph sizes.
