This typeface is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and gently swelling curves, producing a lively texture without feeling delicate. The capitals are slightly narrower and more upright than the lowercase, while the lowercase leans consistently with open counters and softly cupped terminals. Figures are oldstyle in feel, with varying heights and angled stress that matches the text rhythm.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within long-form reading. Its steady contrast and open forms also make it a good choice for book interiors, essays, and literary materials that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial polish. Its italic slant and rounded finishing details add warmth and movement, giving it a human, crafted voice rather than a rigid or mechanical one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with enough calligraphic modulation to feel lively, while keeping proportions and serif structure disciplined for continuous text. It aims to provide a dependable companion italic for body copy and editorial settings without becoming overly ornamental.
The letterforms maintain a consistent rightward slant and a smooth baseline rhythm, with distinctive italic shapes such as a single-storey ‘a’, looped ‘g’, and a curved descender on ‘q’. The serif treatment stays restrained and well-integrated, supporting continuous reading while preserving a gently expressive character.
