A serif italic with a gently calligraphic construction, featuring bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals. The strokes show moderated contrast with smooth, continuous curves and a consistent rightward slant, giving lines a flowing rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, while joins and shoulders stay soft rather than sharp, producing a polished, bookish texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same italic logic, with slightly varied widths across characters that keeps the set lively and traditional in feel.
This face is well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an italic with traditional manners is desired. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal pieces such as invitations or programs where a classic, polished voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a poised, classical elegance suited to formal communication. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes add warmth and motion without becoming flamboyant, conveying refinement and a subtly historic sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with calligraphic grace and controlled contrast, balancing readability with an elegant, historical tone. Its consistent slant and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on dignified text setting and refined emphasis.
Capitals appear relatively tall and graceful, with restrained ornamentation and a steady italic angle that remains consistent in text. Descenders are noticeable and contribute to the type’s vertical rhythm, while terminals and serifs maintain a cohesive, traditional finish across letters and figures.
