An italic serif with flowing, calligraphic energy and a steady baseline rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation and tapered terminals, with crisp, bracketed serifs that stay elegant rather than heavy. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is more cursive in movement, with open counters and smooth joining logic even where letters are unconnected. Numerals follow the same slanted, pen-like logic and read as graceful figures suited to continuous text.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially as an italic companion for emphasis, quotations, and citations. It also fits invitations, programs, and brand materials that benefit from a classic, polished tone. For best results, it works well at text and display sizes where its tapering details and rhythm can be appreciated without becoming delicate.
This typeface projects a refined, literary tone with a calm, cultured cadence. Its italic motion and gently sharpened details add a sense of sophistication and formality without feeling rigid or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic voice for conventional text typography, balancing readability with a noticeable handwritten influence. Its moderated contrast and consistent slant aim for a smooth reading texture while still delivering a distinct, refined character for emphasis.
The sample text shows even spacing and a cohesive italic color across long lines, suggesting a focus on sustained readability. Several letters feature gentle entry/exit strokes and subtle curls, reinforcing the pen-influenced character while keeping forms conventional and familiar.
