A serif italic with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems and diagonals show tapered, subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that create soft transitions rather than abrupt slab endings. The italic angle is steady and the curves are generous, with rounded bowls and slightly sheared joins that keep counters open. Numerals and capitals follow the same lively, pen-influenced rhythm, with a few characters showing wider silhouettes that add a natural, text-driven cadence.
It fits well in editorial settings such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic with traditional serif detailing is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, and refined display lines where the calligraphic slant and flared terminals can add sophistication without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and traditional editorial design. Its slanted, pen-like energy feels elegant and warm rather than rigid, making it suitable for expressive emphasis while staying composed and professional.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, text-oriented italic with classical serif manners and a subtle hand-drawn influence. The restrained contrast and flared finishing details aim to balance readability with a distinctive, cultured voice for both running text emphasis and polished headings.
In the text sample, the font maintains a consistent diagonal stress and a smooth baseline flow, producing a continuous, readable texture. The tapered terminals and gentle flaring at stroke ends give letters a slightly crafted feel that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
