An italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with smooth entry/exit strokes that reinforce the forward slant. Counters are moderately open, curves are rounded rather than angular, and the overall texture stays even and readable in continuous text. The numerals follow the same humanist, slightly cursive construction, keeping a cohesive color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also support refined print pieces like invitations and programs, and works nicely for headings when a graceful, literary accent is desired.
The tone feels classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly old-world editorial flavor. Its slanted forms and soft terminals add warmth and motion, suggesting refinement rather than austerity.
Likely intended as a conventional italic companion with a humanist, pen-influenced feel—designed to provide expressive emphasis while maintaining the familiar structure and readability expected of classic serif text typography.
Uppercase forms maintain a formal presence while still showing italic movement, and the lowercase has a fluid baseline feel that helps words connect visually without becoming script-like. The overall impression is polished and traditional, with enough stroke modulation to add character while staying controlled.
