This typeface is a slanted serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a gentle modulation, with tapered terminals and smooth joins that keep the rhythm continuous across words. The lowercase has a slightly humanist, oldstyle flavor with rounded bowls, a single-storey “g,” and a lively italic “f” and “y” featuring sweeping descenders. Capitals are restrained and classical, with subtle curvature and crisp serifs that keep them stable in display settings while still harmonizing with the italic texture.
It performs well for editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal applications like invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes or subheads where a traditional, refined tone is desirable.
The overall tone feels polished and literary, with a graceful, traditional character suited to refined typography. Its slant and tapered details add motion and warmth, suggesting formality without looking rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, classical italic that balances calligraphic movement with controlled, conventional serif structure. It aims for an understated elegance that integrates smoothly into text while still offering a distinctive, expressive slant for emphasis and display.
Letterspacing in the samples reads comfortably open for an italic, producing an even, rolling texture rather than a tight cursive. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and adding a classic, editorial feel to mixed alphanumeric settings.
