A delicate italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle underpinning and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes are smoothly tapered with rounded terminals and modest contrast, producing a soft, flowing texture rather than a sharp, high‑contrast sparkle. The capitals feel open and slightly understated, while the lowercase shows cursive influence in the joins and entry/exit strokes, giving words a continuous, rolling rhythm. Numerals follow the same slanted, pen-driven logic, with slender forms and clear differentiation.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, introductions, or captions without disrupting overall readability. It can also serve elegantly in literary titling, programs, and formal stationery where a refined, traditional italic tone is desirable.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, suggesting tradition and careful craft rather than display theatrics. Its slant and tapered serifs add a personable, handwritten warmth while remaining distinctly formal and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, text-oriented italic with a subtle calligraphic feel—prioritizing smooth reading rhythm, gentle elegance, and a credible traditional voice for editorial and literary settings.
The italic construction stays disciplined, with consistent angles and restrained ornamentation, making it suitable for sustained reading. Curves are broad and smooth, and the serif shapes stay small and supportive, keeping the page color even at text sizes.
