A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and smoothly modulated strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals and a slightly sharpened, pen-driven finish. The capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with gently varied widths and an organic, handwritten italic flow. Numerals share the same slant and modulation, reading as traditional and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic with strong personality is needed—such as book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, captions, and refined brand copy. It can also serve effectively for emphasis within a serif text system, providing clear contrast in tone while keeping a traditional reading texture.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an elegant, bookish voice. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of tradition and refinement suited to sophisticated reading and publishing contexts.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a graceful, pen-influenced character. The goal appears to be a dependable, classic voice with enough warmth and motion to carry long-form content and elegant emphasis.
The design maintains a consistent diagonal stress and a cohesive entry/exit stroke language across letters, creating smooth word shapes in continuous text. Pointed joins and tapered endings add definition at larger sizes, while the restrained serif treatment helps keep the texture even in paragraphs.
