A calligraphic italic with wide, open proportions and bracketed serifs that read as softly chiseled and slightly flared. Strokes show a consistent broad-nib influence, with rounded joins, tapered terminals, and a gentle modulation that gives counters a lively, inclined stress. The letterforms keep a steady rhythm while allowing subtle irregularities in stroke endings and curves, creating an organic, written feel without becoming cursive. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and sculpted, with generous sidebearings and clear interior space.
Works well for editorial typography, book covers, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from emphasis and elegance. It’s also a strong choice for invitations, certificates, and branding systems that want a traditional, crafted voice.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional print italic and classic calligraphy. It feels elegant and expressive rather than playful, suited to refined, slightly old-world messaging.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of a classic italic with the warmth of hand-driven calligraphic construction, offering expressive emphasis that remains structured and legible.
The slant is pronounced but controlled, with smooth curves and a measured baseline flow that maintains readability. Rounded bowls and open apertures help the face stay clear at text sizes, while the wider set and flared details add presence in display use.
