A right-leaning serif with a humanist, calligraphic build and moderate stroke modulation. The serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with rounded joins and softly flared terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Proportions feel classical and slightly varied, with open counters and a smooth rhythm across words; italics show cursive influence in letters like a, e, f, and g, and the capitals maintain a poised, old-style stance rather than a geometric rigidity. Numerals follow the same italic, pen-informed character, with clear differentiation and subtle curvature.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles while remaining comfortable at text sizes. It can also support refined invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, humanist tone and an elegant, flowing rhythm.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, evoking book typography and editorial craft. Its slanted, calligraphic movement adds warmth and personality, while the restrained contrast and careful serifing keep it polished and composed. It reads as elegant without becoming formal or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with clear calligraphic heritage—prioritizing smooth reading texture, warm proportions, and a cultivated, literary feel. It balances traditional forms with enough liveliness in terminals and stroke transitions to keep passages from looking overly mechanical.
The spacing and letterforms create a comfortable, flowing line, with noticeable emphasis on curved strokes and tapered endings that help maintain a continuous handwritten-like rhythm. The ampersand is notably expressive, reinforcing the calligraphic roots and making the font feel suited to refined, text-forward design.
