This typeface is a serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with smooth joins and curved entry/exit strokes that give letters a continuous, written rhythm. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a balanced x-height and clear ascenders and descenders; round letters maintain open counters while terminals often finish with a soft, angled flick. The overall texture is even in text, with consistent slant and a slightly lively baseline feel typical of editorial italics.
It performs well for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic is needed for emphasis or secondary styles. The refined serif detailing also suits invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, composed voice.
The tone reads literary and classical, projecting refinement and formality without feeling stiff. Its italic movement adds a sense of voice—suited to emphasis, quotation, and elegant messaging—while remaining grounded enough for sustained reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: readable at paragraph sizes, expressive enough to carry emphasis, and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures for cohesive editorial composition.
Numerals follow the same italic logic, with noticeable curvature and tapered terminals that harmonize with the lowercase. Uppercase forms appear slightly more restrained than the lowercase, supporting clear hierarchy in headings and initials while keeping the same oblique, pen-influenced character.
