An italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. The letterforms lean consistently, with smooth, tapering entry/exit strokes and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically sharp. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, while curves remain open and rounded. Proportions are compact in the ascenders with a comparatively tall x-height, giving the lowercase strong presence; numerals follow the same flowing, oldstyle-leaning rhythm and include distinctive curves and terminals.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for italic roles such as emphasis, pull quotes, introductions, and captions where a graceful slant helps guide the eye. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic, humanist voice.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing formality with a warm, handwritten energy. It reads as traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that feels appropriate for longform, human-centered content rather than austere corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic with strong readability and a distinctly traditional texture, using flared, calligraphic terminals and moderate contrast to create a lively but controlled page color.
In text, the italic rhythm is pronounced and continuous, with smooth joins and terminals that create a steady forward motion. Capitals are stately and slightly calligraphic in their shaping, and the mixed-case texture stays even despite the expressive stroke endings.
