A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and smoothly bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a moderate, readable contrast and an oblique axis, with tapered joins and gently swelling curves that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are moderately wide with understated, flaring terminals; the italic forms lean consistently and maintain open counters in C, G, O, and Q. Lowercase features single-storey a and g, a narrow, rhythmic n/m structure, and a long, slightly descending f and y, creating a fluid, handwritten cadence while staying clearly typographic. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and some descenders, matching the text color of the letters.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed as a primary style: book interiors, introductions, pull quotes, and literary magazines. It can also serve refined branding, invitations, and packaging where a classic, handwritten-leaning serif texture is desired, and its oldstyle numerals support text-heavy settings with dates and figures.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and humanist handwriting. Its italic energy adds a sense of movement and emphasis without becoming ornamental, reading as polished and cultured rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, humanist italic with enough calligraphic nuance to feel expressive, while maintaining the discipline and clarity needed for sustained reading. The moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures suggest an emphasis on classic editorial usefulness over showy decoration.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally uneven in the best italic way—slanted stems and varied letter widths create a natural, forward flow. The ampersand and the Q’s sweeping tail add a subtly expressive signature that stands out in display sizes while remaining compatible with continuous text.
