A right-leaning serif italic with moderate contrast and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic influence, with tapered entry/exit terminals and a gently sloped stress that gives curves a fluid rhythm. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with lively, uneven character widths, and the lowercase features traditional italic forms with single-story a and g plus a long, elegant f. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with curved forms and angled terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited for book and editorial settings where a classic italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or foreign words. It also works for formal communications—such as invitations, certificates, or refined brand materials—especially in headings and short passages where its calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and classical typography. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds a sense of elegance and momentum without becoming overly ornate, making it feel formal yet approachable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that balances readability with graceful, historically informed detailing. It prioritizes a cohesive italic color and smooth reading flow while keeping enough character for elegant display use.
In text, the italic angle and tapered joins create strong horizontal flow and a distinctly italic texture. Letterforms maintain clear internal space and crisp serif detail, while the more expressive lowercase shapes add personality at display sizes.
