A light, italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with soft, tapered terminals and occasional flaring at joins, producing a fluid, handwritten rhythm without becoming script-like. Proportions lean wide with open counters and a relaxed set, while the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly swashed in feel, and the numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and curved entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural headlines where an italic voice is desired. It can add a refined, traditional character to packaging and event materials, and works especially well for pull quotes, intros, and short passages where its lively rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, evoking bookish elegance and a lightly romantic, humanist sensibility. Its motion and soft finishing details feel traditional rather than formalist, giving text a graceful, conversational sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic backbone—aiming for readability at text sizes while offering enough personality for display use through flared strokes, softened terminals, and decorative capital details.
Round letters keep generous interior space, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) are drawn with smooth, sweeping curves that emphasize the italic flow. The Q’s tail is prominent and decorative, and several lowercase forms show subtle asymmetry typical of pen-influenced italics.
