An italic serif with a calligraphic, humanist construction and moderate stroke contrast. The letterforms show gently bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a consistent rightward slant that creates forward motion without feeling overly cursive. Counters are open and proportions are traditional, with capitals that feel slightly narrow and poised, and lowercase forms that keep a steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with smooth curves and modest thick–thin transitions that read cleanly in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed as a primary texture or for emphasis. It also works for literary titles, formal announcements, and classic-themed branding where a refined, traditional italic can carry personality without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is literary and classical, suggesting printed books, essays, and cultivated editorial typography. Its slanted stance and warm modulation give it an expressive, slightly personal feel while remaining firmly formal and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, book-oriented italic with visible calligraphic roots—expressive enough to feel crafted, yet restrained enough to function as a dependable text face.
The sample text shows even color and comfortable spacing for continuous reading, with distinctive italic shapes that add character in display lines as well. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown in the images, but the core alphabet and figures appear stylistically cohesive.
