This italic serif shows a calligraphic construction with gently bracketed serifs and a moderate, smooth modulation from thick to thin. The slant is consistent and the curves are lively, with tapered terminals and a slightly springy baseline rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling rigid. Uppercase forms are elegant and restrained, while the lowercase has flowing joins and clear, open counters; ascenders are relatively tall and contribute to an airy line. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and some descenders, blending naturally with running text.
It works well for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, and quotations while maintaining a classic text feel. At larger sizes it can also support refined invitations, heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, traditional italic voice.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a polished, editorial voice. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming ornate, suggesting a measured sophistication suited to classic typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a subtle calligraphic accent—providing expressive emphasis and a classic tone while maintaining disciplined proportions and a smooth, text-friendly rhythm.
Stroke endings often finish in a subtle teardrop or wedge-like taper, and the italic stress is evident in rounded letters such as o and e. The ampersand is prominently calligraphic, adding a touch of flourish that stands out in display-sized settings.
