A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and bracketed, tapered serifs. Strokes show clear modulation, with gently swelling curves and sharper entry/exit points that keep the texture crisp. Uppercase forms are slightly narrow and elegant, while the lowercase is more fluid with a lively rhythm and open counters. Numerals follow the same italic, pen-driven logic, with rounded shapes and angled terminals that maintain consistent color across mixed text.
This style performs well for editorial typography where italics are used for emphasis, titles, and quotations, including books, magazines, and long-form articles. It can also suit formal stationery such as invitations or programs, where a refined italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, with an old-world elegance suited to serious or romantic contexts. Its italic posture adds motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, conveying a poised, editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: readable, rhythmically consistent, and shaped by a pen-influenced serif model. It prioritizes clarity in running text while retaining enough character for elegant emphasis and display-sized excerpts.
Diacritics aren’t shown, but the core alphabet demonstrates consistent slant and a cohesive serif treatment across cases. The ampersand is notably expressive and calligraphic, and the spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading in the sample text.
