A right-leaning serif italic with smooth, calligraphic construction and clear, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper gracefully into sharp terminals, with moderate modulation that gives the letters a crisp, engraved feel without becoming delicate. The rhythm is lively and forward-moving, with slightly varied letter widths and generous curves in round forms, while capitals show sweeping diagonals and controlled flare at entry and exit strokes. Figures follow the same italic logic, with angled, open shapes that blend naturally into text settings.
Well-suited for body text in books and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or lead-ins. It can also serve in refined headings and pull quotes when a classic, literary italic voice is desired, especially in print-like compositions.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting traditional print and editorial typography. Its slanted, pen-like cadence adds a sense of movement and sophistication, reading as formal but approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile text italic that balances traditional serif structure with a fluid, calligraphic stroke logic. It prioritizes continuous reading rhythm and a polished, professional tone for editorial and literary applications.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive. The ampersand and curved lowercase forms emphasize a handwritten influence, while the serifs and steady proportions keep it firmly anchored in conventional serif typography.
