A serif italic with flowing, calligraphy-informed construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal axis and moderate thick–thin modulation, with crisp entry/exit strokes that taper into pointed terminals. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with slightly open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; uppercase forms are stately and compact while the lowercase keeps a lively, cursive-like slant. Figures match the text color and include oldstyle-style shapes that sit comfortably within running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or sidebars. It can also work for refined printed materials—programs, invitations, and formal stationery—especially when paired with a compatible roman for body text and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classical and literary, conveying polish and tradition without feeling overly rigid. Its italic movement adds warmth and a sense of narrative voice, making it feel editorial and cultured rather than purely ornamental.
Designed to provide a traditional, readable italic with a clear historical serif character and an expressive handwritten influence. The aim appears to be an italic that can function both as a companion for text typography and as a standalone voice for elegant, narrative-forward setting.
The italic is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Letters show distinctive, slightly calligraphic joins and finishing strokes that create a gentle sparkle at larger sizes while remaining controlled in text.
