A serif italic with a classical, oldstyle construction and smoothly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a gentle diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, with soft, tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant. The lowercase forms are fluid and slightly calligraphic, with lively entry/exit strokes, a single-storey “a,” and an open, readable “e.” Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved forms and modest ascenders/descenders that harmonize with the text.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary passages. It also works effectively for magazine typography and refined subheads where a traditional serif tone with added movement is desirable.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography with a graceful, handwritten undercurrent. It feels refined and editorial rather than decorative, adding warmth and motion without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with an expressive italic that borrows from calligraphic forms while maintaining disciplined proportions and a steady text rhythm.
Letterfit and spacing appear comfortably generous in the text sample, producing an even gray value and smooth word shapes. The italic is assertive enough for emphasis while remaining suited to longer passages.
