This typeface is a slanted serif with a calligraphic, humanist construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show modest contrast and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishing on joins. Uppercase forms feel relatively open and classical, while the lowercase is more cursive in flavor, using flowing entry/exit strokes and compact bowls that keep texture continuous. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style sensibility, with curved forms and soft terminals that harmonize with the text face.
It fits well for book and magazine typography, especially for italics within running text, quotations, captions, and introductions where a graceful emphasis is desired. It can also suit formal collateral such as invitations or programs when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting book typography and editorial polish rather than overt display. Its italic posture and gently calligraphic details add warmth and a sense of authored voice, reading as elegant and slightly old-world.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly human, calligraphic touch. Its detailing and rhythm prioritize comfortable continuous reading while providing a refined voice for emphasis and literary settings.
Counters remain fairly open for a serif italic, and the spacing produces a smooth, continuous line color in the sample text. Several glyphs feature expressive curvature (notably in the lowercase and the Q), reinforcing a handwritten influence without becoming decorative.
