This is an italic serif with a calligraphic skeleton and clearly bracketed, tapered serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase. Letterforms lean on humanist proportions: round characters stay open, joins are fluid, and many terminals end in soft hooks or teardrop-like shapes rather than blunt cuts. Spacing and rhythm feel text-oriented, with a slightly lively, handwritten cadence that still reads as a cohesive book face.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or captions. It can also work for refined headlines or section openers when a classic, literary voice is desired, and for branded materials that want a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display exuberance. Its italic forms feel expressive and warm, with a hint of old-style sophistication suited to classic publishing contexts. Overall it conveys refinement and credibility without becoming overly formal or rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first italic that balances readability with a touch of calligraphic personality. It prioritizes smooth word shapes, consistent slant, and classic serif detailing to provide an elegant companion for continuous typography and editorial emphasis.
Capitals are relatively restrained and elegant, with a gentle sweep to curves and diagonals that reinforces the italic motion. The lowercase shows distinctive italic features—single-storey shapes and curved entry/exit strokes—creating a smooth, continuous flow in words and sentences. Numerals share the same slanted, serifed construction, keeping mixed text cohesive.
