A conventional italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and a clear calligraphic slant. Serifs are bracketed and gently flared, with tapered terminals and smooth entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The proportions are balanced with a normal x-height and slightly varying character widths, producing an even reading rhythm while still feeling hand-influenced. Numerals and capitals share the same angled, pen-like construction, with open counters and softly rounded curves.
This face is well suited to editorial typography and book-oriented layouts, especially for italic passages, quotations, and other emphasis within longer text. It can also work in formal communications—such as invitations or certificates—where a traditional italic serif voice is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying an editorial, bookish elegance. Its italic energy feels refined and traditional rather than flashy, making it suitable for expressive emphasis while staying sober and professional.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional italic for text settings, combining familiar serif structure with a calligraphic slant to provide readable emphasis and a polished, traditional tone.
Curves are drawn with a noticeable diagonal stress, and many lowercase forms show distinctive italic joins and hooks that add movement in text. The spacing appears comfortable and consistent in running lines, supporting a smooth, continuous typographic color.
