An italic serif with a humanist, oldstyle skeleton and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a smooth, pen-informed modulation with soft joins and tapered terminals, creating a flowing rhythm across words. Capitals are relatively narrow and slightly cupped in their curves, while lowercase forms lean consistently with open counters and rounded bowls; the italic construction is evident in letters like a, e, f, and g. Figures appear slanted and softly modeled, aligning with the text style rather than standing as rigid lining forms.
Works well for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or front-matter styling. It also suits literary titles, event materials, and premium packaging that benefit from a classic, cultivated feel.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with an elegant, gently calligraphic warmth. Its slant and softened detailing suggest formality without stiffness, suited to expressive reading settings rather than stark modern minimalism.
Likely intended as a conventional text italic that reads smoothly at typical sizes while providing a distinctly traditional, humanist character. The design balances formal serif structure with pen-like movement to deliver an expressive yet practical reading texture.
Spacing reads even in the text sample, with a cohesive diagonal movement and a smooth texture at paragraph scale. The design avoids sharp, high-contrast hairlines, favoring sturdy curves and moderate detailing that keeps the italic lively and legible.
