This is an italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm and moderate stroke modulation. Letterforms lean consistently to the right, with softly bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than abrupt. The uppercase has sturdy, classical proportions and a slightly carved feel, while the lowercase is more cursive in movement, with rounded bowls and flowing joins. Curves are generous and counters stay open, giving the face an even, readable color in paragraph settings; numerals follow the same italic slant and show traditional, serifed shaping.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. The distinctive italic movement also works well for refined branding, packaging, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at medium to large sizes where the serif details can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, like a refined book italic or editorial companion. Its slanted forms add warmth and momentum, suggesting emphasis without becoming flamboyant. The presence of classic serif details keeps the voice formal and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with enough calligraphic energy to feel expressive, while maintaining the discipline and proportions expected of conventional serif text typography.
Stroke endings often resolve in gentle hooks or angled taps, which adds personality at larger sizes while still maintaining a composed text texture. The mix of robust capitals and more fluid lowercase creates a clear hierarchy for titles, quotations, and highlighted phrases.
