A slender italic serif with gently tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give the letters a calligraphic pull. Serifs are small and bracketed, with smooth joins and a consistent rightward slant throughout capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with open counters and flowing entry/exit strokes, while capitals feel slightly narrow and poised. Curves are softly modeled rather than geometric, and the overall rhythm is even and readable at text sizes.
It performs well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis or voice. The refined shapes also suit titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially where a traditional tone is desired.
The font conveys a polished, bookish elegance—more understated than flamboyant—suggesting traditional print craft and cultivated taste. Its italic energy reads as articulate and personable, suited to expressive emphasis without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a text-friendly italic serif that balances classical proportions with gentle flare and taper, creating a lively but controlled texture. It aims to provide clear emphasis and a sophisticated tone while maintaining smooth readability in continuous setting.
Numerals follow the same italic stress and look designed to blend into running text rather than stand apart. Round letters (like O/Q) appear generously curved, while diagonals (V/W/X) are crisp and clean, reinforcing a careful, editorial finish.
