This is an italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation with tapered terminals, producing a smooth diagonal rhythm and clear entry/exit strokes in the lowercase. The capitals are comparatively restrained and upright-leaning in feel despite the overall italic slant, with crisp serifs and clean inner counters. Numerals follow the same italicized, pen-informed logic, with open forms and subtle curvature that keeps the texture lively in text.
Well suited for extended reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, or foreign phrases. It also works for literary titling and pull quotes when a refined, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting a cultivated, bookish voice rather than a sharp modern one. Its slanted movement and tapered detailing add a hint of warmth and elegance, suitable for more formal or editorial moods.
The design appears intended as a dependable text italic that pairs classical serif proportions with pen-like detailing to maintain clarity while adding expressive movement. It aims to deliver an elegant, conventional reading texture appropriate for editorial typography.
In paragraph settings the face creates an even, continuous cadence, with the italic angle and curved joins giving words a cohesive flow. The design reads as a conventional text italic, prioritizing familiar shapes and a comfortable reading texture over overt stylistic eccentricity.
