A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and bracketed serifs that soften terminals rather than cutting them sharply. Curves are generous and slightly swollen at turns, giving counters a round, open feel, while diagonals and stems keep a steady rhythm. The italic construction is evident in the flowing entry/exit strokes, the single-storey lowercase forms, and the lively, angled numerals.
Well-suited for long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, especially where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also fits literary titling, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, print-like italic texture.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial craft, and composed elegance. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, balancing refinement with a humane, approachable warmth.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a clear calligraphic backbone—expressive enough to signal emphasis and voice, yet restrained and consistent for sustained reading. The aim appears to be an italic that feels historically grounded and comfortable in editorial typography.
Capitals maintain a stately presence with subtly flared serifs and smooth curvature, while the lowercase has an energetic, handwritten cadence that reads naturally in continuous text. Spacing appears comfortable and text color is even, with enough crispness in the serifs to hold up in paragraphs while still feeling fluid.
