A serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes that flare into soft, bracketed terminals. The rhythm is smooth and diagonal, with modest contrast and rounded joins that keep letterforms open and readable. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised with understated serifs, while the lowercase shows lively cursive energy—noticeable in the looped, double-storey “g” and the long, sweeping descenders and entry strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, old-style feel with curved forms and balanced spacing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or standfirsts. It can also serve in literary titling and refined packaging or invitations where a traditional, graceful serif italic is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a touch of handwritten grace. It feels refined and cultured rather than loud, with a warm, humanist cadence that reads as editorial and sophisticated.
The design appears intended to provide a readable yet expressive italic with classical serif cues, combining smooth text rhythm with subtly flared endings to keep forms crisp at display sizes and comfortable in longer passages.
Serif details are more flared and tapered than sharply chiseled, which softens the texture in text. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, continuous line in running copy.
