A conventional italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and a fluid, right-leaning rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly lively, varying letter widths that keep text color from becoming rigid. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading contexts where italic is needed for emphasis, such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts. It also works nicely for pull quotes, introductions, and formal announcements where a classic, serif italic voice is desirable.
The tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting editorial polish and quiet sophistication. Its italic movement adds a cultured, expressive emphasis without becoming flamboyant, giving it a refined, literary character.
Likely designed as a dependable text italic that balances traditional serif structure with a handwritten sensibility. The intent appears to be providing expressive emphasis and elegant tone-setting while maintaining steady readability in paragraph settings.
Capitals are gracefully slanted and show restrained, classical detailing rather than sharp modern modeling. In text, the spacing and joins create a smooth cursive flow, while the serifs keep the overall texture anchored and readable.
