An italic serif with a graceful, calligraphic skeleton and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp finishing terminals that give the letters a crisp, polished edge. Curves are smooth and slightly narrow, with a consistent forward slant and lively stroke modulation that stays controlled rather than dramatic. The short x-height and relatively tall ascenders/descenders create a delicate vertical rhythm, while the italics’ entry/exit strokes add a subtle sense of motion in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles within otherwise classic layouts. It also fits literary branding, formal invitations, and refined packaging where a traditional, expressive serif italic can carry tone while remaining readable at moderate text sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking bookish refinement and editorial formality. Its flowing italic movement reads poised and expressive, suggesting a classic, old-world sensibility without becoming ornate or decorative.
Likely designed as a conventional serif italic focused on fluent text rhythm and classical proportion. The intent appears to balance readability with a tasteful calligraphic character, providing an elegant italic for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly swashed in character through their curved terminals and angled stress, while lowercase letters show a compact core with elegant ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same italic cadence and maintain a dignified, text-oriented presence that suits running copy and captions.
