A serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show noticeable modulation with diagonal stress, giving a lively, slightly handwritten rhythm while remaining clearly text-oriented. Letterforms are moderately narrow in places but with variable internal spacing and generous joins, producing an energetic texture. Terminals tend to be tapered and subtly hooked, and the italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a readable, conventional skeleton.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and refined subheads. It can also support literary or heritage-leaning branding where an italic with traditional serif cues is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, old-style elegance rather than a crisp modern feel. Its motion and tapered details add a humanist, editorial character that reads as established and trustworthy.
Likely designed to provide a classic, readable italic companion with enough calligraphic flavor to feel expressive, while preserving the familiar structure and discipline expected of conventional text serifs.
Capitals carry pronounced entry/exit strokes that enhance the italic movement, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and steady proportions for extended reading. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic, matching the text color without becoming overly decorative.
