This italic serif has an oldstyle construction with gently bracketed serifs and a fluid, calligraphy-led stroke. Curves show an oblique stress, with moderate thick–thin modulation that stays even and controlled. Ascenders are relatively tall and lively, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable x-height and open internal spaces. The overall texture is smooth and continuous, with soft entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that keep the line light on the page.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial settings where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text. It also works well for refined invitations, cultural branding, and packaging where a traditional, literary tone is desired without sacrificing readability.
The tone is classical and cultured, conveying a bookish, editorial elegance rather than a loud display personality. Its italic rhythm feels dynamic and expressive while remaining disciplined, suggesting tradition, scholarship, and careful craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readable rhythm and classical proportions, while borrowing the softness and motion of calligraphic construction. It aims to provide a tasteful, versatile italic voice for continuous text and typographic hierarchy.
Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrower in feel, pairing well with the more cursive lowercase. Numerals appear lining and italicized, with curved figures (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) showing graceful sweeps that match the letterforms’ motion. Overall spacing looks balanced for text, producing an even gray value in paragraphs.
