A serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. The strokes show moderate contrast and a consistent diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and softly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the lowercase, with an even, readable x-height and long, fluid extenders. The overall texture is lively: curves are drawn with a subtle swell, joins are smooth, and counters remain open, producing a crisp but elegant page color.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis without breaking the text’s rhythm. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined packaging or identity copy that benefits from a classical, fluent italic.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic book typography with a touch of expressive handwriting. It feels poised and cultured rather than loud, carrying a quiet sophistication suited to thoughtful, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, classical italic for continuous text—combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic modulation and flared finishing to maintain elegance at reading sizes while still offering character in display moments.
Uppercase forms appear formal and steady, while the lowercase introduces more movement through angled entry strokes and tapered exits. Numerals read as oldstyle-style figures with varying heights and gentle curves, harmonizing with the italic flow and reinforcing a traditional text feel.
