An italic serif with an oldstyle foundation and a calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with a slightly oblique stress, and many terminals taper or flare as they meet the baseline and ascenders, giving the joins a gently sculpted feel. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp, triangular entry/exit shapes on several capitals and strongly angled diagonals. Counters are fairly open and the proportions feel text-oriented, while the italic forms use flowing curves and pointed terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate.
Well suited for editorial typography in magazines and books, especially for italic roles such as emphasis, quotations, captions, and subheads. It can also work in formal collateral—programs, invitations, and packaging—where a classic italic serif texture supports a premium or traditional message.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting a refined, editorial voice. Its italic energy feels confident and slightly formal, suitable for literature, heritage brands, and traditional publishing contexts where warmth and authority are both desired.
The design appears intended as a versatile, text-friendly italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic flair. By pairing moderate contrast with tapered, flared terminals and bracketed serifs, it aims to deliver a traditional, literary color on the page while retaining crispness at display sizes.
Capitals are stately with sharp, wedge-like finishing strokes, while the lowercase leans more cursively with pronounced tapering on letters like a, f, r, and y. Numerals match the italic slant and maintain clear shapes, with a traditional, understated presence that blends well into running text.
