This is an italic serif with softly flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than engineered. Strokes show a gentle diagonal stress and smooth modulation, with rounded joins and tapered endings that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are moderate with a steady x-height, open counters, and slightly varying character widths that keep word shapes animated. Numerals follow the same slanted, old-style-friendly texture, with curved forms and understated terminals that integrate cleanly with text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined text tone. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, cultured feel without high contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting traditional print and editorial contexts. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes give it warmth and motion without becoming ornate, balancing elegance with everyday readability.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with traditional serif cues and a human, calligraphic flow, prioritizing an even reading texture and graceful emphasis over sharp contrast or geometric precision.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) emphasize smooth, continuous trajectories. Capitals read as dignified but not rigid, while the lowercase maintains a flowing texture suitable for continuous reading.
