An italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with clean hairlines and fuller diagonals, and the serifs are bracketed with subtly flared terminals that keep the texture smooth in continuous reading. Uppercase forms are relatively narrow and energetic, while lowercase letters feature flowing joins, compact counters, and lively entry/exit strokes; the overall color remains even despite the active, cursive-like movement. Numerals follow the same slanted construction, with open shapes and tapered terminals that match the letterforms.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also work for formal messaging—programs, invitations, and refined branding—when a classic, text-oriented italic tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established rather than trendy. Its motion and modest flourish suggest refinement and a hint of romance, without becoming decorative or ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with elegant calligraphic movement. It aims to provide a polished, traditional companion voice for emphasis and literary settings while keeping an even, controlled page color.
The italic construction is strong enough to read as a true italic rather than an oblique, with distinctive cursive shaping in several lowercase letters and a consistent diagonal stress across the set. The sample text shows a cohesive line texture and smooth word shapes, helping longer passages feel fluid and continuous.
