This is a slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphy-influenced skeleton. Strokes show a gently modulated rhythm and tapered terminals, with bracketed serifs that stay delicate rather than blocky. The italic construction is pronounced, with lively entry/exit strokes, open counters, and a smooth, continuous flow across words; capitals remain stately with crisp serifs and slightly asymmetrical, humanist proportions. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with curving forms and angled stress that keeps the overall texture light and elegant in text.
It works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or leads. The elegant capitals and flowing lowercase also suit invitations, literary branding, and other contexts that benefit from a classical, refined tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, cultured feel. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming decorative, giving it a poised voice suited to thoughtful, narrative settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic with a distinctly humanist, calligraphic cadence—maintaining a calm text texture while offering expressive emphasis when set in paragraphs.
In running text the spacing and letterfit create a soft, even color, while the slant and tapered details add motion and emphasis. The ampersand and lowercase forms lean into a classical italic model, contributing to an editorial, humanist character rather than a rigid, mechanical one.
