This typeface is a right-leaning serif with clear calligraphic influence and moderate thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give the outlines a drawn, energetic feel rather than a mechanical one. Uppercase forms are compact and steady, while the lowercase shows livelier movement—especially in curved letters—creating an organic rhythm across words. Spacing reads even in text, with a gently varied texture that reflects the italic construction and stroke tapering.
Well suited for long-form italics in books and magazines, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductions. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles—such as titles, pull quotes, or formal printed materials—where a classic italic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and editorial formality. Its slanted, pen-like shaping adds a sense of motion and warmth, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes comfortable reading and a cohesive, historically informed texture. Its goal is to provide emphasis and hierarchy with a graceful, literary character while staying disciplined enough for continuous use.
Curves show an oblique stress and smooth transitions into stems, and several letters feature subtly extended terminals that help carry the line horizontally. Numerals match the italic voice and feel text-oriented, maintaining the same stroke behavior and serif treatment as the letters.
