This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a fluid, calligraphic rhythm, combining sturdy stems with hairline joins and delicate entry/exit strokes. Proportions are generously set with open counters, and the overall spacing feels even while allowing natural variation from glyph to glyph typical of an italic. Numerals include oldstyle forms with clear ascenders/descenders that blend comfortably with lowercase text.
Well-suited to longform editorial settings where an italic with character is needed, such as book typography, magazines, essays, and quotations. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles—titles, subtitles, and promotional copy—where its contrast and motion add emphasis without feeling ornamental.
The tone is polished and bookish, balancing elegance with a slightly theatrical, expressive slant. It suggests traditional craft and editorial sophistication rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with heightened contrast and a crafted, pen-influenced movement, providing an elegant voice for text while remaining strong enough for display emphasis.
Curves and diagonals carry much of the personality: bowls and shoulders are rounded and energetic, while capitals keep a stately presence without becoming rigid. The italic construction is evident across both cases, giving headlines and pull quotes a cohesive, flowing texture.
