A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and bracketed, tapered serifs. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation, with slightly thickened curves and finer connecting strokes that create a lively rhythm. Capitals feel formal and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase leans more fluid, with open counters and gently curved joins. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in spirit with elegant, flowing shapes, maintaining the same italic energy and contrast as the letters.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic style is needed for emphasis, quotations, and foreground text. It can also serve effectively in refined headings, subtitles, and formal printed materials where a classic serif voice with added movement is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining traditional bookish mannerisms with a nimble italic voice. It reads as cultured and expressive rather than blunt or utilitarian, lending a sense of refinement and continuity to longer passages.
Likely drawn to provide a traditional italic companion for text settings, prioritizing a readable texture while retaining expressive, pen-informed details. The design aims for a familiar, classical serif impression with enough liveliness to make emphasized passages feel intentional and elegant.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, and the serifs remain sharp and well-defined, giving clean word shapes even at larger sizes. Curves and terminals feel slightly flared, reinforcing a handwritten-origin impression without becoming decorative.
