An italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle-derived construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and softly shaped, with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms a flowing rhythm. Uppercase letters feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their curves, while lowercase shows lively entry and exit strokes, compact bowls, and a measured x-height that keeps the texture even in continuous text. Numerals are lining and italic to match, with open counters and smooth curves that maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well suited for long-form editorial and book typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles within text, or scholarly apparatus. It can also work for magazine features and cultural publishing where a classic, readable italic voice is preferred over a highly stylized script.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, projecting an educated, bookish warmth rather than a sharp modern crispness. Its steady italic movement adds a sense of emphasis and refinement, suited to dignified, composed typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable text italic that balances tradition with energy, offering a familiar serif structure alongside distinctly calligraphic movement. It aims to provide comfortable readability and a refined, literary tone in continuous reading contexts.
In text, the face holds a cohesive color with noticeable but not extreme contrast, and the italic angle is strong enough to read as true italic rather than merely oblique. The ampersand and curved letters show a slightly more expressive, pen-influenced shaping that adds character without becoming ornamental.
