A right-leaning serif italic with softly bracketed serifs and a moderate, calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are full and slightly asymmetrical, with rounded terminals and a gently swelling rhythm that keeps forms lively without feeling ornate. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional italic construction with single-storey a and g, narrow joins, and smooth entry/exit strokes. Figures follow the same oldstyle-influenced, flowing texture, maintaining consistent weight and a cohesive italic color in text.
Well suited for book typography and editorial layouts where italic is needed for emphasis, titles, quotations, or cited material. It can also serve effectively in refined subheads and pull quotes, providing a classic contrast to an accompanying roman without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human touch typical of pen-informed italics. It reads as refined and trustworthy rather than flashy, lending an educated, editorial voice to longer passages and emphasis. The italic slant and rounded finishing details add a subtle sense of motion and friendliness.
This font appears designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary voice. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and pen-like construction suggest an intention to deliver elegant emphasis and comfortable long-form texture in publishing contexts.
The design maintains a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across cases, producing a clean paragraph texture in the sample. Letterforms favor smooth transitions over sharp corners, which helps keep emphasis legible at text sizes while still looking distinctly italic.
