An italic serif with moderately bracketed serifs and a fluid, calligraphy-informed stroke rhythm. The letterforms show clear diagonal stress and a steady, medium contrast between thick and thin strokes, with tapered terminals that keep counters open and readable. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a slightly lively baseline flow that gives the texture movement without becoming overly decorative. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed construction, maintaining a cohesive tone across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations. The controlled contrast and open counters help it hold up in continuous text, while the slightly embellished capitals make it useful for invitations, literary branding, and refined packaging or labels.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking literary and editorial contexts. Its italic energy adds a sense of elegance and momentum, while the restrained contrast and conventional proportions keep it dependable rather than flashy. The result feels formal yet approachable—suited to emphasis and expressive passages without looking theatrical.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, readable italic companion with a touch of classical flourish. It balances calligraphic motion with conventional serif structure to create an italic that feels expressive in headlines and reliable in text settings.
Several capitals feature subtle swash-like gestures and extended entry/exit strokes (notably in forms like Q), adding a touch of flourish while staying within a traditional serif idiom. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the spacing and shapes produce an even, continuous text color in paragraph samples.
