This typeface is a slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes that broaden into flared terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with soft transitions into stems and a controlled, moderate stroke modulation. Curves are open and rounded, while diagonals and joins show a slightly sharpened, pen-like rhythm. The lowercase has a traditional, text-friendly structure with a single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a lively, right-leaning movement; figures follow the same italic cadence with oldstyle-like proportions and angled stress.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for continuous text, quotations, or emphasis. The refined, tapered detailing also works well for literary titles, cultural programs, and invitation-style print where a classic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a warm, cultured elegance rather than a rigidly formal presence. Its slant and tapering terminals add momentum and a humanist softness, giving text an inviting, bookish color.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally styled italic with a humanist, pen-informed feel, balancing crisp serif detail with smooth text rhythm for sustained setting and elegant emphasis.
Spacing and cadence suggest a text-oriented design with steady rhythm across words, while distinctive italic features—like the sweeping f and the lively k and v/w forms—add character for emphasis. Uppercase letters stay restrained and traditional, pairing smoothly with the more animated lowercase.
