A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs and smooth, tapered terminals, with generous curves and open counters that keep the texture airy. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with crisp finishing strokes, while the lowercase features flowing entry/exit strokes, long ascenders/descenders, and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters like f, g, y). Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing rounded forms with angled stress and clean, tapered endings.
Well suited for editorial typography, long-form reading environments, and emphasis within serif text families (quotes, titles, or inline italics). It can also work for formal communications such as invitations and programs, and for brand applications that want a classic, cultivated voice without feeling rigid.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than overt display. Its italic color feels expressive and human, suggesting quotation, emphasis, and refined editorial voice. The slant and gentle modulation add warmth while maintaining a composed, formal presence.
Designed to provide a conventional serif italic with a clear calligraphic foundation—enough flourish to feel expressive, but disciplined proportions to remain usable in text. The intent appears to balance elegance and readability, offering an italic that carries emphasis with sophistication rather than sharp drama.
In text, the italic texture is lively, with noticeable movement from the curved strokes and extended descenders, which can add character but also increases vertical activity. The spacing and counters appear balanced enough for continuous reading, while the more flamboyant lowercase shapes give it a distinctive flavor compared to plainer text italics.
