This is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with moderate thick–thin variation, giving letters a lively rhythm without becoming delicate. The capitals are broad and gently slanted, with crisp, tapered terminals and sturdy serifs that keep the forms anchored. Lowercase shapes are open and rounded, with a compact, energetic texture; details like the single-storey “a,” the curved “f,” and the long, sweeping descenders (notably in “g,” “j,” and “y”) reinforce the handwritten-italic influence. Numerals follow the same italic slant and serifed finishing, reading clearly at text and display sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely in pull quotes, headings, and formal materials like programs or invitations where a classic, refined slant can carry the tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a polished, editorial voice. Its slanted, slightly swashy movement adds elegance and momentum, suggesting formality and confidence rather than casualness.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic that reads smoothly while offering a distinctly calligraphic, elegant character for emphasis and display moments. Its moderate contrast and sturdy serifs suggest an intent to stay legible and composed across paragraphs while still feeling expressive.
Spacing appears generous for an italic, helping maintain clarity in running text. The design balances sharp, well-defined serifs with smooth curves, producing a strong left-to-right flow and a consistent, composed color on the page.
