A robust italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. The letterforms show gently bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and softly swelling curves that create a lively, handwritten rhythm while staying firmly in a text-serif structure. Proportions lean slightly compact with a noticeably low x-height, and the stroke modulation is moderate rather than dramatic. The italic angle is consistent, with smooth joins and generous counters that keep the texture readable even at heavier sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, quotations, emphasis, and pull quotes in books and magazines. It can also serve in short-form reading contexts such as essays, programs, and literary branding where a traditional serif with extra warmth is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an inviting warmth and a slightly vintage, print-era character. Its italic energy reads as expressive and personable rather than sharp or formal, making it feel friendly and human while still credible for serious text.
The design appears intended to provide a sturdy, readable italic text serif that brings calligraphic personality to conventional typography. It balances expressive terminals and a flowing slant with enough structure to maintain a steady page color in continuous reading.
Figures are italic as well, with rounded, oldstyle-like movement and varied silhouettes that match the flowing rhythm of the letters. The uppercase maintains strong presence and curved finishing strokes, helping headings feel emphatic without becoming rigid or geometric.
