An italic serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than constructed. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth curves and pointed terminals on many forms. Proportions are fairly traditional with a steady x-height and generous ascenders, while letterspacing and shapes create a lively, slightly variable rhythm across the line. Numerals and capitals maintain the same angled, calligraphic logic, producing an even, coherent texture in text.
Works well for editorial typography—books, magazines, essays, and long-form reading—where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also suits literary titles, pull quotes, and refined branding lines that benefit from a graceful, classic serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an old-world elegance that reads as formal without becoming stiff. Its flowing italic energy adds a sense of motion and sophistication, suitable for expressive, editorial voice while remaining composed and readable.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic serif with calligraphic warmth and controlled contrast, balancing traditional bookish proportions with sharper, tapered finishing for a more contemporary bite. The goal appears to be an elegant, text-capable italic that can also carry emphasis in headings and quotes.
Curves stay open and well-defined, helping legibility in running text, while the tapered terminals add crispness at display sizes. The italic slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, pen-informed character.
