This serif italic shows a calligraphic, oldstyle construction with gently bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The slant is consistent and relatively open, with rounded bowls and soft, flowing joins that keep lines from feeling rigid. Contrast is noticeable but controlled, and the rhythm is smooth, with slightly flared terminals and a subtle pen-like modulation. Uppercase forms are elegant and compact in their detailing, while lowercase proportions stay balanced and readable with clear ascenders and descenders.
It suits editorial typography, book and essay settings, and other long-form reading where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. Its refined detailing also works well for formal correspondence, invitations, and cultured branding elements where a traditional serif italic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craftsmanship rather than display dramatics. It feels formal without being severe, lending a calm, cultured voice to text that benefits from a touch of elegance.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical, pen-influenced feel—prioritizing smooth texture, graceful emphasis, and compatibility with sustained text settings.
Figures follow the same italic energy as the letters, with curved, gently sweeping shapes that integrate well in running text. The letterforms maintain a cohesive texture across words, producing an even gray value and a steady baseline cadence.
