A right-leaning serif with a strong, calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with smooth transitions and rounded joins, producing a lively diagonal flow rather than a rigid, engraved feel. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase shows more movement, with compact counters and occasional swashy terminals. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic and read as text figures in spirit, with curved entries and exits that reinforce the italic cadence.
Well-suited to long-form book typography and editorial layouts where an expressive italic voice is needed for emphasis, subheads, or pull quotes. It can also serve effectively in literary or cultural titles and refined invitation-style materials where a classic serif tone with added motion is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an energetic, handwritten-italic flavor that feels poised and cultivated. It suggests editorial sophistication and old-world formality without becoming overly delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while emphasizing the expressive qualities of italic calligraphy—adding speed, warmth, and emphasis for text-centric settings.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, and many letters feature tapered beaks and curved finishing strokes that increase momentum in words. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with a rhythm that favors flowing word shapes over strict geometric regularity.
