A slanted, calligraphic serif design with tapered strokes and clearly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The rhythm is lively and slightly variable, with subtle stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib or pointed-pen influence rather than rigid geometric construction. Capitals are open and gently flared, while the lowercase shows smooth, rounded joins and a relatively traditional proportioning; counters stay generous for an italic style, and terminals often finish with a soft curl or tapered flick. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and rounded forms that match the text’s flowing texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as pull quotes, intros, and emphasis in body copy, as well as book and magazine typography where an expressive italic voice is needed. It can also support formal invitations, certificates, and tasteful branding that benefits from a traditional, cultured tone.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, evoking classic editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its italic movement and soft stroke endings add warmth and a human touch without feeling casual or playful.
Likely intended as a graceful italic with calligraphic influence, balancing traditional serif structure with hand-driven stroke behavior for expressive reading and display use. The design emphasizes flow, elegance, and a classic typographic voice rather than strict mechanical regularity.
The letterforms maintain a consistent forward angle across cases, creating a cohesive, continuous text color in paragraphs. Descenders and ascenders are moderately long, contributing to an airy, elegant line while still reading cleanly at typical text sizes.
