This serif italic has a calligraphic, oldstyle structure with bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show moderate modulation, with gently tapered terminals and slightly angled stress that gives curves a lively, hand-driven rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally text-oriented: rounded forms are open and readable, while joins and serifs remain crisp without becoming sharp or brittle. The italic slant is consistent, and spacing supports smooth word shapes, with a natural, slightly varied texture across mixed-case text.
It suits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where the moderate contrast and open forms maintain clarity. The italic voice also works well for emphasis, quotations, pull quotes, and refined print pieces such as programs or invitations where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial use. Its soft modulation and tapered details add warmth and a humanistic feel, while the disciplined serif construction keeps it refined and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a gently calligraphic flavor—lively enough to feel human and expressive, but controlled enough to function reliably in continuous text and typographic hierarchy.
Capitals are dignified and upright in character despite the slant, pairing well with the more cursive movement of the lowercase. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapered logic, maintaining a cohesive texture in running text and headings.
