A calligraphic serif italic with gently bracketed serifs and an oldstyle, pen-driven skeleton. Strokes show moderate modulation with soft thick–thin transitions, and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly hooked shapes. The lowercase is lively and varied, with a single-storey a and g, a long, sweeping f, and an overall rightward slant that keeps words moving. Capitals are more restrained and classical, pairing crisp wedge-like serifs with subtle curvature, producing a steady headline rhythm that complements the more animated lowercase.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography where a classical italic voice is needed, such as book and magazine text, introductions, and captions. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and refined printed pieces like invitations or programs where a traditional, humanist tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting bookish refinement rather than sharp modern minimalism. Its italic energy feels conversational and human, with a cultivated elegance suited to editorial and cultural settings.
Designed to provide a classic, readable italic with a clear calligraphic underpinning—balancing formal serif structure with enough movement and personality to carry emphasis in continuous text.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a smooth, continuous rhythm, with distinctive italic forms (notably in the f, g, y, and z) that read as intentionally expressive. Numerals appear italicized as well and follow the same moderate contrast and serifed construction for cohesive text color.
