A slanted serif design with moderate stroke modulation and an oldstyle, pen-influenced rhythm. Serifs are small and tapered, with smooth joins and softly bracketed transitions that keep the texture even in running text. Counters are open and proportions are traditionally bookish, while the italics show flowing entry/exit strokes and a lively, handwritten cadence without becoming script-like.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, long-form articles, and literary journals, where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also support invitations, quotes, program notes, and tasteful brand communications that benefit from an elegant italic voice. It should perform best from text to moderate display sizes where its modulation and tapered serifs remain clear.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a gentle sense of formality. Its italic posture and calligraphic inflection add a graceful, slightly romantic mood that feels suited to refined communication rather than overtly modern branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic that emphasizes smooth reading and a cultivated tone. Its restrained detailing and consistent rhythm suggest it was drawn to set extended passages cleanly while still offering a touch of personality through pen-like curves and terminals.
The uppercase has stately proportions with gentle curvature and tapered finishing, while the lowercase leans more noticeably into an italic, handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, keeping the overall palette cohesive across letters and figures.
