A slanted, serifed italic with smooth, calligraphic modulation and gently tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show rounded, elliptical bowls and an oblique axis, with moderate thick–thin contrast that stays even across the set. Serifs are subtle and often bracketed, reading more like softened wedges than sharp, flat slabs, which keeps the texture fluid in text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open counters; curves and joins are clean and consistent, giving the face a continuous, readable rhythm in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where an italic with strong personality can carry emphasis without sacrificing readability. It also works effectively for invitations, pull quotes, and refined brand accents that benefit from a classic, polished slant. For longer passages, it can provide a consistent, elegant texture when used as a companion italic or for stylistic emphasis.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its italic energy adds motion and a touch of formality, suggesting sophistication rather than casualness. The softened serifs and rounded curves keep it approachable, making it feel refined without looking rigid or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, text-friendly italic that blends calligraphic cues with disciplined, contemporary construction. Its softened serifs, rounded geometry, and controlled contrast suggest a focus on fluent reading rhythm and elegant emphasis in running text.
In the sample text, the italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward momentum while maintaining stable spacing and a cohesive line color. Figures share the same calligraphic influence, with curved forms and tapered strokes that harmonize with the letters. The design reads best when its smooth contrast and shaping have room to breathe, rather than being compressed or set extremely small.
