A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and moderately modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a crisp yet organic finish. Capitals show generous curves and subtly tapered stems, while the lowercase has a flowing, handwritten rhythm with angled stress and compact counters. Numerals follow the same italic movement with narrow figures and decisive, hooked terminals.
Well suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and section heads. It can also support book covers, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with a touch of calligraphic character.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a refined, slightly expressive energy. Its italic slant and calligraphic detailing add warmth and motion without becoming ornamental, suggesting a poised, cultured voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with historic, handwritten cues—balancing readability with expressive stroke shapes and lively terminals to create a versatile, classic companion for editorial and literary contexts.
Letterforms maintain a consistent diagonal stress and smooth joining logic, producing an even texture in continuous text. The italic is assertive enough for emphasis and display, yet controlled in spacing and stroke endings, keeping the look suitable for extended lines.
