A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and moderate stroke modulation. The serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, with soft transitions into stems that keep joins smooth rather than crisp. Letterforms show gently asymmetric curves and lively entry/exit strokes, giving the lowercase a handwritten rhythm while maintaining consistent text color. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in presence, with curved terminals and a measured, bookish cadence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve in refined branding, cultural communications, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs where a traditional, serif italic character is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish and quiet sophistication rather than display drama. Its italic flow reads expressive and human, lending a conversational warmth while still feeling formal and established.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic underpinning—prioritizing readability and typographic tradition while adding a touch of expressive, handwritten movement.
In text, the italic angle and rhythmic stroke endings create a continuous, forward-moving line, with clear differentiation between characters and a balanced, unobtrusive contrast. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
