This is a delicate italic serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered stroke endings. Curves are broad and smooth, with a subtle diagonal stress and an overall flowing rhythm that stays controlled rather than flamboyant. Capitals are elegant and slightly open in their construction, while the lowercase shows a restrained cursive influence—single-storey forms like “a” and “g,” a narrow, arched “n,” and a long, clean “f” that reinforces the italic slant. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded bowls and light, tapered terminals that keep the texture airy on the page.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed with refinement and ease. It also suits pull quotes, epigraphs, captions, and literary titles where a graceful, traditional italic texture supports long-form reading.
The font conveys a quiet, cultivated tone—more bookish and classical than trendy. Its light, slanted presence reads as thoughtful and humane, suitable for sophisticated editorial settings where a subtle sense of tradition and finesse is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic that brings oldstyle warmth and calligraphic nuance to continuous text. It emphasizes graceful rhythm, modest ornamentation, and a polished, literary tone rather than high-impact display styling.
Spacing and proportions produce a smooth, continuous line in text, with distinctive italic entry/exit strokes that help word shapes connect without turning into a script. The design favors clarity and elegance over strong display contrast, making it feel composed even at larger sizes.
