This serif italic has an oldstyle, calligraphy-derived construction with gently bracketed serifs and a moderately angled stress. Strokes are smooth and slightly tapered, with soft transitions into serifs rather than abrupt terminals. The italic slant is consistent and relatively calm, giving the letterforms a steady rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel traditional and proportioned, while lowercase shows more movement through curved joins and subtly varied stroke endings; numerals follow the same restrained, text-oriented tone.
It suits continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or captions. It can also work well in formal stationery and invitations that benefit from a traditional, polished serif italic.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, editorial feel rather than overt flamboyance. Its slanted, pen-like modulation lends a cultured, somewhat traditional voice suited to thoughtful reading and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that brings a classical, pen-influenced character to text while maintaining a controlled, even typographic color. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for literary and editorial typography without relying on decorative excess.
Counters are open and legible, and the italic forms avoid extreme swashes, keeping word shapes clear at typical text sizes. The design balances elegance with practicality, maintaining an even texture across mixed-case settings and lining figures.
