A slanted serif with calligraphic construction, showing gently bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a consistent oblique angle across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Strokes exhibit moderate modulation, with rounded joins and smooth entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, handwritten rhythm without becoming swashy. Proportions lean slightly wide and open in many letters, and the capitals feature elegant, restrained curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S) that read clearly at text sizes. Numerals follow the same italic stress and include pronounced curves and angled endings, matching the letterforms’ overall movement.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or academic material where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended setting. It also works for invitations, formal correspondence, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic, flowing serif tone is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish elegance with a soft, personable tone. Its italic energy feels expressive and slightly romantic, while the controlled detailing keeps it appropriate for formal, editorial contexts.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic with a distinctly calligraphic feel, balancing expressive motion with dependable text manners. The letterforms aim to deliver elegance and warmth while maintaining consistent rhythm and clarity in continuous reading.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in running text, with an emphasis on smooth diagonals and rounded forms that help sustain legibility in longer passages. The ampersand is decorative yet coherent with the set, and the overall silhouette favors graceful curvature over sharp, high-contrast drama.
