A serif italic with a noticeably right-leaning stance, compact proportions, and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with softened joins and rounded terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, drawn quality rather than rigid geometry. Curves are smooth and open, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle irregularities in width and stroke endings that keep text from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same slanted, old-style-influenced flow, with rounded forms and modest variation in character widths.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text with a classic voice. It can also work effectively in magazine features and pull quotes, providing a refined, slightly vintage texture at medium sizes.
The font reads as traditional and literary, with an editorial tone that feels at home in classic publishing. Its italic energy and softened serif details add warmth and a hint of vintage personality, suggesting refinement without looking severe.
Likely designed to offer a readable, traditional serif italic with a touch of calligraphic warmth—something that can carry long-form text while still feeling distinctive in emphasis and display lines.
The uppercase maintains a dignified, slightly condensed presence, while lowercase forms are more animated, with looped and hooked details (notably in letters like g, j, and y) that reinforce the handwritten italic flavor. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, with clear word shapes in the sample text.
