This typeface is a right-leaning, gently calligraphic design with softly modulated strokes and subtly flared terminals that read as serifless at a glance yet retain pen-like shaping. Letterforms are open and rounded, with smooth curves, tapered joins, and a consistent diagonal rhythm that carries through capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows single-storey constructions where expected (notably the a and g), long, elegant extenders, and a flowing, slightly irregular texture that feels drawn rather than engineered. Numerals echo the same italic cadence, with curved entries and exits and a cohesive, understated finish.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is desirable as a primary style—books, magazines, essays, and cultural content—especially at text and subhead sizes where its open forms remain clear. It can also support branding and invitations that benefit from a refined, handwritten-adjacent tone without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is cultured and approachable: it feels literary and editorial, with a quiet sophistication rather than a technical or utilitarian voice. The italic slant and soft terminals add warmth and motion, giving text a conversational, human presence while still appearing polished.
The design appears intended to bridge practical readability with a pen-informed, humanist character—offering an italic that can carry continuous reading while providing distinctive, elegant movement.
In longer passages the face builds a lively, slightly shimmering texture due to its angled stress and tapered stroke endings. Uppercase forms stay restrained and readable, while the lowercase provides most of the personality through its cursive-like construction and generous extenders.
