An italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction, showing tapered strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady rightward slant and maintain an even, bookish rhythm in text. Curves are generous and slightly elliptical, with crisp terminals and a subtle handwritten modulation that keeps counters open. Uppercase forms feel restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement, including flowing ascenders and a slightly energetic baseline texture.
It works well for editorial typography—books, essays, and magazine features—where an italic with strong readability is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary passages. It can also suit formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when a traditional, text-centric voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a refined, editorial sensibility. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting formality and cultivated elegance suitable for long-form reading and traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a lightly calligraphic character. It aims to provide an expressive companion for continuous reading and typographic emphasis while preserving a classic serif structure and disciplined spacing.
Capitals are relatively compact and dignified, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through curved joins and tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-leaning logic, integrating smoothly with text rather than standing as rigid lining figures.
