This typeface is a serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship and a diagonal stress, producing a lively rhythm without becoming overly sharp. Proportions lean slightly condensed with tapered terminals and angled entry/exit strokes that keep word shapes active and continuous. The lowercase is compact and readable, with distinctive italic forms (single-storey a, looped g, and a brisk, forward-leaning f), while capitals remain poised and slightly swashed in feel without becoming decorative.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and subheads where an italic voice is needed. It also works well in refined collateral—such as invitations or cultural programs—where a classic, polished tone is desired without high contrast or overt ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking bookish refinement and editorial authority. Its slanted, pen-influenced shapes add warmth and momentum, giving text a conversational elegance rather than a rigid, formal voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes continuous rhythm and comfortable readability while retaining a traditional, pen-influenced character. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for editorial typography and literary settings, balancing expressiveness with restraint.
Figures appear lining and straightforward, matching the text color and contrast of the letters. The italics maintain consistent spacing and a smooth baseline flow, with terminals and serifs softened to avoid brittle edges at reading sizes.
