A serif italic with an oldstyle feel, featuring gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show a noticeable but restrained contrast, with tapered terminals and softly modulated curves that suggest a broad-nib influence. Proportions are slightly compact with lively sidebearings, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Uppercase forms stay relatively upright and dignified while still following the slanted axis; lowercase shows more expressive entry/exit strokes, a single-storey a, and looped/descending forms that add movement in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It also fits formal correspondence, invitations, and pull quotes, especially where a traditional, literary texture is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing formality with a handwritten warmth. It reads as traditional and trustworthy rather than trendy, with enough flourish to feel personable without becoming decorative.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that brings a historically informed, calligraphic flavor to continuous reading. The emphasis is on smooth rhythm, clear word shapes, and refined detailing rather than high drama or overt ornament.
Distinctive shapes include a sweeping italic f and t, a lively g with a looped lower form, and an energetic y and z with curved terminals. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open, elegant curves (notably in 2, 3, and 8) that align well with running text.
