This is an italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic skeleton and tapered, flared stroke endings rather than blunt terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a diagonal stress, with smooth, continuous curves and softly bracketed joins. Proportions are slightly wide and lively, with varied glyph widths, open counters, and generous, readable apertures. The capitals are elegantly slanted and stately, while the lowercase is energetic and rhythmic, featuring flowing entry/exit strokes and a single-storey ‘a’ that reinforces the handwritten italic feel.
It performs well in editorial typography, book and magazine text, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to carry longer passages gracefully. It can also serve branding, packaging, and invitations when a refined, tradition-leaning italic is desired, especially for headings and short-form display.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, balancing traditional formality with a warm, human cadence. It feels elegant and articulate, suited to settings that want a classic voice without looking rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic with a visibly drawn, pen-influenced texture—more expressive than a purely mechanical oblique—while remaining disciplined enough for sustained reading and typographic hierarchy.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic, tapered logic, keeping the texture consistent in running text. The font maintains a steady baseline rhythm while allowing expressive shapes in letters like ‘f’, ‘g’, ‘j’, and ‘y’, which add motion and character without becoming overly decorative.
