This typeface is an italic, serifed design with moderate stroke modulation and pronounced, flared/bracketed terminals. Letterforms lean with a steady, calligraphic rhythm, combining sturdy stems with softly tapered exits and occasional wedge-like serifs. Counters are open and the curves are generously drawn, while details such as the angled joins and lively entry strokes give the forms a slightly ornamental, bookish texture. The overall spacing reads comfortable and the silhouette feels broad and relaxed rather than tightly condensed.
It works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired with more character than a standard text italic. The decorative capitals and lively numerals also suit invitations, packaging, and boutique branding, especially at medium to larger sizes where the terminal shapes and modulation can be appreciated.
The tone is classical and literary with a distinctly warm, human touch. Its italic flow and expressive terminals add a subtle, whimsical elegance—suggesting vintage publishing, invitations, or refined branding rather than strict modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a readable italic with an oldstyle sensibility, enriched by flared serif details and a slightly decorative finish. It aims to balance continuous-text usability with enough distinctive personality for display accents and emphatic passages.
Distinctive features include the decorative, swashed-like capital Q and the flowing italic numerals with gently tapered ends. The lowercase shows a traditional italic construction (single-storey a and g), reinforcing an oldstyle, handwritten influence while remaining structured enough for continuous text.
