This is an italic serif with a calligraphic construction and a steady forward slant. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation, with tapered entries and exits and softly bracketed serifs that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. The proportions are moderately narrow with open counters and a flowing rhythm; lowercase forms are compact but not cramped, with long, expressive ascenders and descenders. Capitals are gently swashed in feel without becoming decorative, and overall spacing reads even in continuous text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or pull quotes. It can also support refined print pieces such as invitations or programs where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a refined, editorial polish. Its movement and slight flourish add warmth and personality while staying firmly on the formal, conventional side.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic: readable at paragraph sizes, with enough calligraphic character to distinguish emphasis while maintaining an even, dependable typographic color.
Curves are drawn with a subtle springiness—particularly in S-like forms and the diagonal-heavy letters—which helps the italic feel energetic without looking hurried. Numerals follow the same italic logic, blending well with text and maintaining consistent modulation and finish.
