An italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and smooth, flowing rhythm. Stems show gentle modulation and taper toward the ends, with bracketed, flared terminals that read more like shaped stroke endings than hard, rectangular serifs. Curves are generous and slightly open, counters are moderately sized, and joins stay clean without sharp notches. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, with lively entry/exit strokes, a single‑storey italic a, and compact, slightly varied letter widths that create a natural, text-like texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic text face is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary typography. It also works for refined headlines, pull quotes, cultural programs, and formal stationery where a classic serif italic can convey tradition without feeling overly ornate.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultured, with a bookish elegance that suggests craftsmanship rather than strict modern neutrality. Its slanted, brush-informed forms add warmth and motion, giving paragraphs a poised, literary voice suitable for more formal or heritage-leaning contexts.
Likely designed to provide a readable, historically informed italic that carries calligraphic energy while maintaining control and consistency in continuous text. The flared, bracketed endings and moderate modulation aim to deliver an elegant texture and reliable emphasis in sophisticated typographic systems.
Capitals are stately and somewhat wide with smooth curvature (notably in C, G, O, Q), while lowercase maintains an even color and steady baseline movement. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapered logic, blending well with text rather than standing apart as rigid lining figures.
