An italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems lean consistently to the right with tapered, bracketed serifs that often resolve into wedge-like terminals, creating a lively, handwritten rhythm without becoming informal. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with rounded forms and softly modeled curves; counters stay open and the joins are smooth, giving continuous texture in text. Capitals are relatively restrained and slightly narrower than the most expansive italics, while the lowercase shows a fluid baseline movement and varied character widths that add natural cadence.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic with strong readability and a traditional voice is needed. It also works effectively for refined branding, pull quotes, packaging copy, and formal invitations that benefit from a graceful, text-oriented italic.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and a cultured voice. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes read as expressive and warm, lending a slightly elegant, conversational quality compared with a strictly rational text face.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical proportions with subtle calligraphic energy, aiming for sustained readability while providing an expressive typographic color in continuous reading.
In the text sample the spacing and slanted forms create a cohesive, rolling word shape, with strong differentiation between upright structural strokes and tapered finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning demeanor, integrating smoothly with lowercase text rather than standing apart as rigid lining figures.
