A right-leaning serif italic with crisp, bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are generously rounded and the join transitions are clean, giving the letters an even, continuous rhythm. Capitals are slightly narrow and sweeping, with tapered entry/exit strokes and understated terminals, while the lowercase shows lively movement through long ascenders/descenders and softly modeled bowls. Figures follow the same italic construction, with open forms and gentle curvature that keeps them consistent in texture with the text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for emphasis, pull quotes, and cultured titling where a refined, traditional character is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a poised, cultivated feel. Its italic motion reads as expressive without becoming flamboyant, making it feel appropriate for formal contexts and classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—balancing elegance and clarity for continuous text while offering enough flourish for tasteful display moments.
The texture in paragraphs is airy and composed, with noticeable forward momentum that helps connect word shapes. The ampersand and italic capitals show graceful swashes and angled stress, adding a touch of sophistication while remaining restrained.
