A calligraphic italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes. The design shows diagonal stress in the round letters, modest contrast, and a flowing rhythm driven by angled entry/exit terminals. Counters are open and the curves are smooth, while verticals remain relatively slim, giving the texture a crisp, print-like color. Ascenders are prominent and the figures follow the same italic, oldstyle influence with varied widths.
Well-suited for book typography and long-form editorial work where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It can also serve in refined print applications such as magazine features, cultural programs, and formal invitations where a classic serif italic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an elegant, slightly old-world warmth typical of book italics. It reads as refined and cultivated rather than trendy, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of humanist movement.
Likely intended to provide a classic italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor—prioritizing smooth text rhythm and traditional elegance for reading-centric design.
Capitals are restrained and upright in presence but still slanted, pairing well with the more animated lowercase. The italic construction is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a coherent, continuous line in text settings.
