This italic serif shows a calligraphic construction with smoothly bracketed serifs and diagonally stressed curves. Strokes taper into sharp, flicked terminals, and the letters lean with a consistent rightward angle that creates an active, forward rhythm. Capitals are relatively narrow with crisp apexes and restrained flourish, while the lowercase is more fluid, with looping descenders and gently swelling joins. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and curved forms that match the text’s handwritten modulation.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an expressive italic voice is needed. It also works for formal invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes or captions that benefit from a refined, handwritten-leaning texture.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classical correspondence. Its slanted motion and tapered details add elegance and a slightly romantic, literary flavor without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with a strong calligraphic underpinning—balancing classical bookish authority with graceful motion and elegant detailing for emphasis and sophisticated tone.
Spacing and rhythm read comfortably in continuous text, with clear word shapes and a lively baseline. Several forms (notably in the lowercase and figures) use generous curves and extended terminals, which can add character at display sizes while remaining coherent for text-setting.
