This typeface is a right-leaning serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give it a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship, with tapered joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and legible. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase has a flowing rhythm with distinct entry/exit strokes and a single-storey a. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that match the text rhythm, reinforcing a bookish texture.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed, and it can also support refined branding and printed materials such as invitations and programs. The oldstyle numerals make it particularly comfortable in text with frequent dates or measurements.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting literature, academia, and premium editorial design. Its italic movement reads expressive rather than flashy, conveying sophistication and a quiet sense of formality.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that balances readability with a calligraphic serif character. Its flared, bracketed detailing and oldstyle figures aim to create a cohesive, historically informed page color suitable for editorial typography.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are drawn with smooth, continuous curves and subtle terminal shaping, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel crisp without becoming sharp or brittle. Ascenders are relatively prominent, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, cohesive texture in paragraph settings.
