A modulated italic serif with clear calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a lively, rightward slant that produces a smooth forward rhythm. Counters are moderately open and proportions feel traditionally bookish, while the varied stroke widths and curved joins keep the texture animated in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same angled, humanist logic, with elegant curves and controlled, slightly variable character widths.
Well suited for book and editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, subheads, or pull quotes. It can also serve effectively in refined branding applications—such as invitations, menus, and premium packaging—where a classic, calligraphic italic adds sophistication.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a refined, classic presence that still feels approachable rather than rigid. Its italic energy reads expressive and fluent, suggesting elegance, ceremony, and editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, humanist italic with strong pen-influenced modulation and elegant serif detailing. It balances readability with expressive movement, aiming to provide a polished italic tone for emphasis and display within classic typographic systems.
In paragraphs the face creates a gently dappled texture from its strong modulation and curved stroke endings, so it tends to read more like a true italic companion or display italic than a purely utilitarian workhorse. The ampersand and several lowercase forms emphasize a handwritten, pen-driven character that adds personality to short phrases and emphasized passages.
