This is an italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke contrast. Letterforms show softly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a gently diagonal stress that gives the text an organic, written rhythm. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height and open counters, while the italic slant and subtle modulation keep the texture lively without becoming overly sharp. Numerals and capitals follow the same angled, humanist logic, producing an even, readable color in continuous text.
It performs well for book and editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve refined short-form uses—such as invitations, programs, and packaging accents—where a traditional italic serif adds sophistication without overpowering the layout.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—cultivated and traditional, with a warm human touch. Its italic motion suggests elegance and emphasis rather than display flamboyance, making it feel suitable for thoughtful, editorial communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that blends humanist warmth with disciplined serif structure, prioritizing smooth reading texture and tasteful emphasis in running text.
Curves and joins are smooth and slightly elastic, and the serifs remain crisp but not rigid, supporting a comfortable reading rhythm. The italic forms maintain clarity in smaller sizes, while the slanted silhouettes add momentum in headlines or pull quotes.
