A traditional serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate contrast with smooth transitions and a clear diagonal axis, giving the forms a lively, handwritten momentum while staying controlled and text-ready. Proportions feel slightly condensed and rhythmically even, with open counters and gently tapered terminals; numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle spirit with curved joins and soft, rounded shapes.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, foreign terms, or chapter-level hierarchy. It also works for formal invitations, programs, and refined branding where a classic, text-seriffed italic can add elegance without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of warmth. Its italic slant and softly modeled serifs convey refinement and tradition rather than sharp modernity, making it feel familiar and trustworthy.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional italic that reads comfortably in paragraphs while retaining the expressive cues of broad-nib writing. The intent appears to balance graceful motion with conventional proportions so it integrates seamlessly into classic text typography.
Uppercase forms are stately and steady, while the lowercase carries more movement and personality, producing a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The spacing and color in the sample text read smooth and continuous, supporting long lines without looking rigid or mechanical.
