An italic serif with a flowing, calligraphic skeleton and gently bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal emphasis and moderate thick–thin modeling, with rounded terminals and soft joins that keep the texture smooth in running text. Proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, with ascenders that stand tall and a generally even rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve in refined titling—chapters, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where a traditional italic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish editorial typography and traditional correspondence. Its slanted, pen-influenced forms read as elegant rather than flashy, lending a composed, trustworthy voice.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic with visible pen-informed character while maintaining steady text rhythm. The intention appears to balance elegance and restraint, offering an italic that feels at home in classic typographic systems.
Uppercase italics are notably inclined and streamlined, pairing well with the more cursive lowercase for continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic logic and integrate cleanly with letters, supporting consistent line color in mixed text settings.
