This is an italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and a steady, medium-contrast stroke. Serifs are clearly bracketed and taper into the stems, with angled terminals and soft, rounded joins that give the letterforms a continuous, written rhythm. The italic slant is pronounced but controlled, and the set shows moderate proportions with slightly varied character widths and open internal spaces for a text-friendly color. Numerals follow the same italicized, serifed logic with smooth curves and tapered ends.
It performs best in continuous reading contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis—book and editorial typography, magazine features, and pull quotes. It also suits formal or cultured display moments such as invitations, programs, and refined branding lines where a classic italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a poised, editorial elegance rather than a sharp or mechanical voice. Its flowing italics and softened bracketed serifs convey warmth and a sense of established craft, suitable for classic, bookish settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable italic companion for text typography, drawing on calligraphic serif traditions to produce an elegant, gently dynamic texture in paragraphs and longer passages.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly narrow with crisp, angled finishing strokes, while lowercase characters lean into more handwritten modulation, especially in curved letters and diagonals. The rhythm is even in paragraph text, with italics that remain legible and not overly decorative.
