An italic serif with brisk, calligraphic construction and clear high-contrast modulation. Strokes show a diagonal stress with tapered joins and gently bracketed serifs that feel cut with a broad nib rather than mechanically drawn. The lowercase is compact with lively entry/exit strokes, while capitals are slightly more upright and formal, giving a steady headline presence. Figures appear old-style and slanted, with varied widths and soft curves that keep texture fluid in running lines.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or sidebars. The confident slant and high-contrast strokes also make it effective for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations where a traditional, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining refinement with a personable, human rhythm. Its energetic slant and warm detailing suggest tradition and craft rather than strict modernity, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide an old-style, calligraphy-informed italic that can carry both text and display roles. The goal appears to be a balanced blend of tradition and liveliness: readable shapes with enough flourish and modulation to feel distinctive in setting.
Spacing and rhythm read as intentionally variable, creating a handwritten-like cadence that helps long passages feel animated. The italic forms are assertive, with clear shapes and open counters that support readability while preserving a distinctly old-style character.
