An italic serif with a right-leaning, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear broad-pen influence with moderate contrast, tapered terminals, and soft entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm fluid. Proportions feel traditional with relatively narrow capitals and lively lowercase forms; counters remain open and readable, while curves and joins stay clean and controlled. Numerals follow the same italic, pen-written logic, with rounded forms and angled stress that match the text face.
Well-suited for book and editorial typography where italic emphasis is frequent, such as quotations, captions, and running text with a refined tone. It can also serve effectively in formal print materials—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a classic serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is literary and classical, suggesting editorial polish and cultivated formality. Its flowing italic movement adds warmth and elegance without becoming decorative, giving text a poised, traditional voice.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes smooth reading rhythm and classic typographic manners. Its design balances calligraphic liveliness with restraint, aiming to provide elegant emphasis and polished voice in continuous text.
The design maintains consistent slant and stroke modulation across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive typography in mixed-case settings. The ampersand and italic forms in the sample text emphasize the font’s pen-based character and graceful, continuous motion.
