This is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show noticeable but not extreme contrast, with diagonal stress and tapered terminals that keep the rhythm lively without becoming delicate. Proportions lean moderately wide with generous sidebearings, and the letterforms maintain clear, open counters; ascenders are prominent while the x-height stays balanced for text. Figures appear oldstyle and slanted to match the italic, with smooth curves and consistent stroke modulation across letters and numbers.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text where a classic italic is needed. It also fits formal communications—such as invitations or programs—where a traditional, polished serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic movement reads expressive and elegant rather than flamboyant, lending a composed, cultured voice to text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a graceful, pen-informed slant. It aims to provide a dependable, classic companion for editorial and long-form settings while adding subtle elegance and motion.
Capitals are sturdy and evenly weighted, pairing well with the more cursive energy of the lowercase. The italic angle is consistent, and the design maintains clarity in mixed-case settings and longer passages, as shown in the sample text.
