A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and flowing, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear pen-like modulation with gently tapered terminals and an oblique stress in rounded forms. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, while the lowercase is more lively, with subtle entry/exit strokes and softly curved joins that keep the rhythm continuous. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with open counters and smooth curves that read well in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, intros, and refined brand materials that benefit from a classic, humanist voice.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting traditional print and editorial refinement. Its italic movement feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, giving text a polished, human presence.
This font appears designed to provide a versatile, traditional italic for text typography—balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic, serifed character that adds warmth and sophistication to extended passages.
Letterforms favor smooth curves over sharp corners, and the italic angle is consistent across cases, helping maintain an even texture in paragraphs. The design’s contrast and serif shaping support clear word silhouettes, especially in mixed-case settings.
