A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and smooth, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and gently cupped joins, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly varying character widths that keep text color even without looking mechanical. Numerals are serifed and gracefully shaped, with round forms and subtle entry/exit strokes that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits refined display roles—chapter openers, pull quotes, and literary or cultural titles—where its calligraphic modulation can add warmth without overpowering the page.
The overall tone is classical and cultured, with an understated elegance associated with editorial typography. Its italic voice feels expressive rather than flashy, suggesting sophistication and a literary, print-oriented sensibility.
The design appears aimed at providing a dependable, classical italic for continuous text, balancing readability with a distinctly humanist, calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes comfortable rhythm and familiar serif detailing for conventional publishing contexts.
Curved letters feature soft, rounded finishing and modest asymmetry that enhances the handwritten impression. Capitals stay restrained and readable in text settings, while the lowercase shows more movement in forms like a, f, g, and y, contributing to an energetic but controlled texture.
