This is an italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphy-derived construction and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderated thick–thin modeling with tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that feel sharp but not harsh. Curves are generous and slightly elliptical, counters stay open, and joins are smooth, producing an even texture in text. Proportions lean toward traditional text italics, with compact lowercase, clear ascenders/descenders, and numerals that harmonize with the letterforms.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined tone. It can also serve in elegant branding, programs, and invitations where a classic serif italic conveys formality without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial elegance rather than a display-driven flourish. Its slant and soft modeling add a courteous, human touch while keeping the voice formal and authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable italic companion with classic proportions and a calm text color, prioritizing smooth paragraph flow and familiar serif cues over novelty.
Uppercase forms are stately and restrained, while the lowercase shows more of the italic handwriting influence in entries, exits, and curved shoulders. The design maintains consistent spacing and a stable baseline, helping paragraphs read smoothly at typical text sizes.
