An italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and a calligraphic rhythm, the design combines crisp, bracketed serifs with subtly tapered joins. Curves are full and open, and the overall texture stays even in paragraph settings while retaining lively, handwritten-like movement. Proportions are balanced with clear counters and a smooth diagonal stress that keeps long lines readable.
Well suited to books, journals, and magazine typography where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy. It also fits invitations, cultural programs, and brand communications that want a classic, polished tone without appearing overly ornamental.
This typeface projects a literary, old-world tone with a gently expressive slant. It feels cultivated and human, suggesting traditional publishing, academia, or refined correspondence rather than a starkly modern voice.
The letterforms appear intended for comfortable reading in continuous text while providing an elegant italic voice for emphasis. The restrained contrast and consistent rhythm point to a design focused on dependable editorial typography with a touch of calligraphic character.
The numerals follow the same italic flow and maintain a steady, text-friendly color. Uppercase forms are dignified and stable, while the lowercase shows more motion and personality, helping the font stay expressive without becoming decorative.
